Unbounded IDENTITY
Harper's Bazaar India|August 2023
Sobia Ameen, a Bangladesh-based model and content creator, is determined not to be confined by labels. She embraces her plus-size figure but aspires to be recognised primarily as a model rather than solely as a plus-size model. Fearlessly navigating her journey as a creator and influencer, she boldly embraces her imperfections and isn't afraid to learn from her mistakes. With a vision to conquer the world, Sobia is determined to achieve success on her own terms.

Unbounded IDENTITY

Sobia Ameen is a multi-talented individual, encompassing roles as a content creator, model, architect, and baker. While she embraces labels like “plus size,” “body positive,” and “bubbly,” Sobia wants people to recognise the depth of her identity beyond these tags. She belongs to a growing community of creators striving not just to find a place at the table but to construct an entirely new one. Her work reflects a diverse identity, a refusal to be pigeonholed, and an authentic voice that remains unshaken by criticism. Throughout her journey as a creator and influencer, she fearlessly embraces mistakes and aims to grow on her own terms, documenting her path day by day.

Currently residing in Dhaka, the city where she was born and raised, Sobia frequently travels to India for work. Mentally, she often feels connected to Juhu, gazing out at the sea, as she has always been drawn to cities surrounded by water. In the future, she envisions living in a city with access to the ocean or the sea.

As an architect, Sobia holds a degree in architectural studies. Interestingly, her family has a strong architectural background, with three out of four members, including herself, being architects. Initially, she had an interest in fine arts like her mother, and briefly attended art school in Sydney. However, she found the faculty’s approach too abstract for her liking. After exploring landscape architecture for a year, she eventually settled into architectural studies as her major. Although she started her masters in architectural studies, she faced significant mental challenges, leading her to leave the programme halfway. Despite this, Sobia has no regrets, as her experiences have led her to a life she couldn’t have imagined in her wildest dreams.
