My name is Sam Hernandez. I’m 35 from Chicago, I have a 14 year-old daughter and 3 dogs. I have gone through a long journey. There have been ups and downs and it hasn’t been easy, but I hold myself to a standard for myself and other people. Through it, I have found love within myself.

My health is more than just physical, it’s mental. Because what good is healthy body without a healthy mind? As part of the “In Our Own Skin” collection, I’ll be focusing on body positivity. I believe that the more comfortable you are with your body, the more you can focus on what your body needs to be healthy other than what you think you need to look like.
