“When it comes to body positivity, it’s not something that I was raised to embrace,” she told The Standard’s blog. “I think a lot of us are raised in societies where body shaming is a norm. If you don’t look a certain way, you’re not accepted or you’re asked to change. [When I was young] I was already hating how I looked because I was a stick figure with a little belly. And then I ended up gaining a lot of weight.”

It all changed when she was diagnosed with cancer and went through chemotherapy which meant losing her hair and her weight. “Then after my amputation, I was left with so many scars,” she added. “So, for me personally, I had trouble accepting a new body and loving it. And I went on a journey of trying to get to a place where I felt happy, but little did I know that I would bring so many people on that journey with me.”

It all culminated in September 15th, 2016 when she was invited to the White House to walk in the first-ever White house Fashion show. The event was a celebration of inclusive design, assistive technology, and prosthetics. “Before, I wanted to fly under the radar,” she admits. “I didn’t want to draw too much attention. Now I have my colorful prosthetic covers that have really nice designs and making my outfit match.”

Prepare to be inspired.

Her unique aesthetic and creative spirit has drawn more than 120k followers on Instagram and led to collaborations with brands like Opening Ceremony, Milk Makeup, Obey, and Drink This Milk.

But it took her some time to fully establish her Princess Gollum persona. “I’ve been through a few identity shifts in the last 6 years of my internet kingdom before becoming Princess Gollum,” she told Flaunt. “Princess Gollum is someone you don’t want to mess with,” she explains. “She’s still sweet and kind but she’s tougher than ever now, she knows whats going on and she must be respected and protected at all costs.”

She’s also extremely cool. “I’m constantly inspired by the world around me,” says Lee. “I never know when I’ll be inspired. It could be of a sculpture made of spider webs then maybe I could be enamored by the trash I see floating down the drain. I’ve also noticed that inspiration is a perspective. I could see something one day and feel nothing at all then see it again in a different light and it would be everything to me.”

Her tip to other aspiring Instagram stars? “Don’t believe everything you see on the gram; Things may seem more real than they really are; Stay true to who you are and never compare yourself to others; Work as hard on your insides as much as you do on the outside; and tell your mother you love her, then tell yourself you love you.”
