• Yumi Nu is the first plus-size Asian model to appear on the cover of the Swimsuit Issue of Sports Illustrated, but had to work through ‘years of shame’ first
• ‘I got tired of hating myself,’ she says of rejecting her Asian side and size, but says the fashion world still has a ways to go before it is fully inclusive
