The first case that Kardashian West publicly addressed was that of Alice Marie Johnson, a great-grandmother who was serving a life sentence in prison for a nonviolent drug-related crime without the possibility of parole. Understandably, Johnson's life has been transformed thanks to Kardashian West, who she calls her "war angel."
And now, Johnson has made her modeling debut for Kardashian West's latest venture, SKIMS Solutionwear. In a video shared on Instagram, Johnson posed in the SKIMS sculpting bodysuit, which will be released online September 10, and discussed how much her life has changed since Kardashian West helped to get her granted clemency and released from prison.
The video's caption noted the size inclusivity of SKIMS, with products running from an XXS to a 5XL. The caption reads, "Alice Marie Johnson (@alicemariefree) wears the Sculpting Bodysuit Mid Thigh ($68 in sizes XXS - 5XL) in Onyx. #ShowYourSKIMS."
