"When I was 12, I went from having no boobs to a D-cup practically overnight. Everyone else was still growing and I felt really self-conscious – I even quit football and rugby because of it.
"They continued to grow, and I was a G cup by the time I left school – now I'm a 34J."
"I struggled to buy bras when I was a teen because everything in my size was so old-fashioned, and I had to buy clothes a size bigger to fit my boobs. Worse, men seemed to think they had the right to comment on me – one man followed me home when I was 15, talking about my boobs, despite me being in school uniform.
"Over time, I learnt to handle it and always had a comeback ready."
"My mixed heritage drew comments too. My dad, from the Caribbean, is very dark while my mum is fair, and kids at school would ask me why I was this colour. But this colour, these boobs – it's all me! Now, people can say what they like – I love my body.
"Having my kids meant my body changed again; I had instant stretch marks! They were a shock at first, but now I'm proud of them – I call them my battle scars."
"We women should all embrace what we've got. My body is a reflection of everything that's made me who I am – my heritage, my strength, and my kids – and I wouldn't want it any other way.
