Rest in peace, Mia Amber Davis. While many of you may only know Mia as the big girl on Road Trip who seduced that skinny fugly dude to pieces, Davis was more than that. She was a plus size model who changed the game and she will be remembered for her impact on the fashion industry and her advocacy for size acceptance.
In other words, she represented the big girls and ate those skinny bitches alive when it came to confidence.
FOX411 is reporting that Mia Amber Davis passed away on Tuesday after she suffered complications from a routine surgery on her knee. So was her death due to the actual surgery? The official cause of death has not been announced but we do know that her husband Michael Yard (who was in New York at the time) told TMZ that he last spoke with his wife (who was in LA at the time) on Tuesday and she was complaining of dizziness then. It was just a short while later that Davis’ cousin called Yard to notify him of his wife’s death. Talk about unexpected!
Davis served as creative editor-at-large for Plus Model Magazine and modeled for Lane Bryant, Just My Size, Ashley Stewart and Monif C .
In response to Davis’ death, Madeline Jones Editor-in-Chief of Plus Model Magazine said, “Mia Amber Davis was a woman of integrity who was adored by friends around the world. As the curviest plus size model to grace brands like Just My Size and Ashley Stewart, she proudly represented for the millions of women who wear a size 18 and up, and inspired them to look and feel beautiful. [She] created a career that spanned over ten years. Modeling was her work, but it was her mission to encourage plus size women everywhere to be happy and healthy at their size. Her ‘Curvy Girls Rock’ t-shirts and tank tops, were huge sellers at plus sized events – and it was just another way for her mission statement to reach the masses.”
Rest in peace, beautiful curvy girl!
