Getting to know Léhcar… “Hi, my name is Rachel aka Léhcar. I’m a body positive model raised in Houston, Texas, now residing in south San Antonio. I began to develop a passion for modeling my last year of high school. Then fast forward to motherhood, I thought my dream of making the cover of a magazine was over! I really thought I was less attractive because of how my body changed. Confidence was low due to the lack of ‘normal’ bodies I saw—like mine—in magazines and on the television. I am here to change that! A few years went by until one day I saw someone like myself modeling, and it gave me hope to try modeling again. So here I am, a couple years in and I am bringing confident, sexy, fashionable momma vibes to the world! All this to say, just because something gets you down doesn't mean you have to stay down. You may feel like you are at your lowest but the highest moments are around the corner. You just have to get up and walk there. I did and I have no regrets!”

The Interview Rachel Léhcar Ross is one of the most upbeat genuine people I’ve had the privilege to meet during my journey with PEPPER Magazine thus far. She’s been a pure delight to work with as a model with a personality and carefree spirit that also makes her a great candidate for acting and the film industry. This easy-breezy Texas mama has always carried herself with a sense of determination and purpose, even through some of her own struggles with the insecurities of a changing body—a journey she now sees as a blessing and something to honor. Her story is one that runs parallel for many of us who have grappled with fluctuating weight or the natural changes within our bodies due to motherhood. We sat down with Léhcar to talk about her own take on this, what she’s learned along the way and how she balances creative entrepreneurship
