Not only is that a huge feat in itself, but at just 24 years old, Hunter has signed with Wilhelmina Models and booked campaigns with Lane Bryant, Forever 21, Torrid, and even Melissa McCarthy's clothing line, Seven7. To top it all off, Hunter is working hard to inspire women to embrace their bodies and love themselves for who they are. "I would love to just continue the message of body positivity and loving yourself and loving your body and knowing that you're worthy of everything," she told Teen Vogue in April. "Everything is available to you, and I just want people to hopefully feel confident, feel empowered that they can go out and everything is available to them." Hunter is certainly one to watch.
