Samantha is a Minne Inno Fire Award Honoree, being recognized as a change maker in the fashion industry by the Minneapolis/St.Paul Business Journal.

I wanted clothes that would support me and empower me to move my body while still looking great. It became clear that even plus size apparel wasn't made with me in mind; finding apparel in a petite fat fit became a struggle, and then everything else was too "tall" for my body type. I got tired of the boring and ill-fitting clothing, and so, FITSO was born!
