"I started from the place of, 'I'm a plus-sized person, I work in fashion, I don't see anything that serves the intersection of that identity within myself out in the world, and I'm gonna go build it,'" Chan said toChan used her creativity and experience in modeling to build the company from the ground up, despite her lack of experience in the business and financial side of entrepreneurship.

"Language has so much to do with emotion and people," Chan explained. "What I dislike is terms that either infantilize or condescend or play to different emotions, and so then we get into all these descriptors that are just skirting what you're trying to say, which insinuates that what you're trying to say, which is just a clothing size, has a bad meaning in the first place.", an acquisition that she described as life-changing.

In all of her endeavors, she hopes that her status as a successful, wealthy women who is also plus-sized, a person of color, and gay will provide hope for other marginalized people.
