Iskra Lawrence is a British model, actress, and body positivity advocate, celebrated for her efforts to promote self-love and body diversity in the fashion industry. She is also co-founder of Saltair, a body and hair care brand rooted in the belief that everyone deserves to feel comfortable in their own skin.

Lawrence struggled with body image issues during her early years in the modeling industry due to unrealistic beauty standards. After facing rejection from modeling agencies for not fitting into the industry's narrow definition of beauty, Lawrence persevered and eventually found success by embracing her natural curves. She became an outspoken advocate for inclusivity, challenging societal norms and encouraging people to embrace their bodies regardless of size or shape.

Lawrence's breakthrough came when she became a global ambassador for Aerie, a lingerie and activewear brand known for its unretouched advertising campaigns. Through her work with Aerie, Lawrence has helped redefine beauty standards, promoting authenticity and self-acceptance. Her empowering message has resonated with millions of people worldwide, earning her a devoted following on social media and inclusion on Forbes' 30 Under 30 and the BBC's World's 100 Most Influential Women lists.

Lawrence's advocacy extends beyond the digital realm. She is a brand ambassador for both the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) as well as L’Oréal for The Prince’s Trust. She has delivered countless uplifting speeches across the United States, spreading messages of self-acceptance and body positivity, and she has partnered with the BBC to deliver presentations at UK middle and high schools, addressing critical issues such as body image, mental health, and cyberbullying.
