Her mother, Elizabeth Woods, is a photographer, and talent manager. Her father, John Woods, who lost his battle with cancer earlier this year, was a sound engineer. Woods grew up in the social scene thanks to her mother, and it is how she met Kylie Jenner, as well as her other celeb pals including Jaden and Willow Smith.

Jordyn Woods is signed as a plus sized model to Wilhelmina International’s Curve, and has partnered with Torrid’s new brand called “Lovesick” a clothing line ranging from sizes 10-26.

Before she was scouted by her agent through Instagram, Woods never considered a career in modeling, but now has a strong passion for fashion, and fighting for change of the industry’s beauty standards, one of her goals being transition the term “plus-sized” to “curvy”.

       

She is a firm believer in body positivity, and encourages girls and women alike to love themselves at any size, proof of this can be found on her Instagram profile, as she’s not afraid to dress how she pleases, and exudes confidence in every photo.
