Gracie Bon is a plus-sized influencer from Panama who is often at the center of some form of controversy online. Sometimes we may see her complaining about the accommodations on an aircraft, but today we see her in a sports car.
Gracie was sharing a video of a McLaren sports car, and she was not very happy with how the seats were fitting. She was having difficulty fitting her 55-inch hips into the car, so she took a bold stand.
After having a struggle getting the car door closed, she said: “supercars should be for everyone.” She also showed that her hips didn’t quite fit in the vehicle.
Even though some people have given her a difficult time online about her physique, Gracie has always been straightforward in the comments. She feels that self-love is very important and that you should embrace the body that you have been given. She also says that she’s proud of her body and wants other people to feel the same.
She wants to encourage other people through inclusivity and that means that there are many spaces that are not made to accommodate a body type like hers. This includes airlines, restaurants, theme parks, and now sports cars.
Gracie wants better representation from those organizations and areas, and many plus-sized individuals have joined in on the conversation, saying that they would be able to support it if they were included.
Although it is true that many people are inspired by her body positivity, some people are critical about her size as well. She tends to take those comments in stride, using her presence on social media to raise awareness and push for different standards.
