Jordyn Ryder at her most raw. The woman who hosts Inked magazine's wildly popular Facebook Live show “Mondays with Jordyn” and one of the models who launched IsMyGirl.com tells you how it feels to be the person on the other end of the screen.

“You have zero respect for yourself #trash.” “Are you surprised when guys send you dick pics? You are basically asking for it.” “Put some clothes on fat ass.” “You can’t get pissy at guys making comments like that when you post this shit.” “You like to dress [promiscuously], but yet you get upset when you get the attention [you’re] wanting.” “Slut.”

I’m not trying to make this article about how people should feel bad for me when I receive rude comments, about how all women should feel comfortable showing off their bodies online or to prove some sort of false reality of how my life really is. The truth is, I chose to make my image on social media a certain way, originally to gain a following that meant literally nothing to anyone but myself. Over the last year, social media has been both a curse and a huge blessing on my character and personal life. It has given me a positive platform and a new motivation to take on challenges with a fresh outlook on everything in my own and other people’s lives. In today’s society, we only see what people want us to see about them online. We have this preconceived notion that everyone’s existence, surroundings and situations are better than ours because that’s exactly how it is meant to seem. I want people to know who the girl is behind the social media platforms, just me, without any type of filter, telling my experience.
