When the woman at the acting agency told Indiana teenager that she would never model, Katie had every reason to believe her. Acting talent Katie had, but she was no size four. In fact, she'd struggled with her weight, struggled with being "large-boned, chubby, whatever you want to call it—big," she says, since elementary school. And modeling wasn't even on Katie's radar screen. She just wanted to act.
But God had other plans for Katie, who landed a contract with Ford Models in New York City in a move that, for those in the industry, might be considered "unheard of." A fluke? A stroke of luck? Not according to Katie. "Modeling brought me to New York," she says, "but there's something bigger going on." That "something bigger" is, in Katie's own words, her spiritual journey.
Check out Fordmodels.com and there, in the New York plus-size division, is Katie Walter. It's easy, in the context of so many beautiful people, to see her as just one more (exceptionally) pretty face—clear skin, blue eyes, killer smile. But meet Katie in person, and it's not her physical appearance so much as her inner beauty that's striking.
