At Lulalu, we believe every body deserves to feel seen, celebrated, and supported—and no one embodies that more than this month’s featured Lulalu Lady: Cienna.

Read on for her reflections on body love, life with a disability, and how finding the right bra changed more than just her wardrobe.

Tell us about yourself. What makes you, you? 

Hi I’m Cienna, a lifestyle creator sharing my experience as a disabled girl in the world. I share my life showing the world that my happiness isn’t dependent on my health through my love of fashion and travel to create representation and empower others to do the same

Is there an important challenge you've faced and conquered? 

Wow, I think learning to love my body exactly the way it is and learning to accept my disability has been my biggest achievement. Honestly, learning to love my body exactly the way it is, is something I still work hard at everyday. I have known for most of my life that being “sick” or disabled doesn’t make me, my body, my life, my happiness, or anything about me any less. My happiness isn’t dependent on my health! I can live a beautiful and fulfilling life anywhere and in any way that me and my body can. I am not suffering from my conditions or trying to overcome them. I am living with them. My body and I are in this together. Every scar, device, stretch mark, and part of me tells the story of how my body and I work together to enjoy the happiness our world holds every day. Whether that’s from an ICU or modeling during New York Fashion Week, I can’t change what happens to me, but I can change how I react to it.

How has Lulalu positively impacted your life? 

Which bra is your favorite and why? I am OBSESSED with Lulalu!! I literally haven’t gone a day without wearing the bras since opening them. I think as a small chested girlie, it can be hard feeling empowered, beautiful, or sexy in big brand bras. For the first time, I feel like there’s a bra that celebrates my body and highlights how beautiful it is, just the way it is. My favorite bra is either the Denim blue Callie for summer styled with a cute charm necklace, Jean shorts, and an open button down shirt or the Mia convertible racer back bra, I don’t think my boobs have truly ever looked or felt as good as they do when I wear that bra!! Honestly I was stunned when I tried it on for the first time!!

What is your favorite thing about the brand as a whole?

My favorite thing about Lulalu other than the incredible bras, would be how Lulalu works to give every body the confidence to feel beautiful!! Every body truly deserves to feel and celebrate that!

Any tips or words of wisdom to help other Lulalu Ladies feel inspired or empowered?

Every body is beautiful! Your body isn’t just your “summer body” it’s your home. It’s with you every single day. It’s gotten you through the lowest lows and highest highs. Every stretch mark, scar, freckle and hair. It’s the only one you have and it’s gotten you this far! Learning to accept and love your body isn’t easy and doesn’t happen overnight. It is a choice you have to wake up and make everyday, but I promise it is one of the best choices you will ever make. 

At Lulalu, we’re proud to stand behind women like Cienna who lead with vulnerability, strength, and style.
