Meet Kita Dayé | Plus Size Model & Influencer

We had the good fortune of connecting with Kita Dayé and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Kita, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking
Risk! Now that is a definition I like to use for every situation I’m in. For those who don’t know the definition of having risk, it is a noun meaning exposure to danger. Being a plus size model, I’ve experienced lots of versions of nos’ such as “Thank You” or “Try again later.” The thing that helped pushed boundaries and opened doors for me, was being a risk taker. I had to know myself and push pass my insecurities to put myself out there to let others know that I’m more than just another plus size girl.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
My brand is me. Kita Dayé the Plus Size Model and Influencer. I’ve was always been the outgoing girl growing up and really didn’t know what to do with that type of energy. The many jobs I’ve had, always wants a person who was the complete opposite. That’s when Kita D was born! I finally reached a point in my career where people are starting to notice and acknowledge my presence. I’ve always been the quiet one in the crowd due to people (haters) telling me I’m too loud and rude. Eventually I learned, being a person who encourages any and everyone to do things that they wouldn’t normally do is something that people wanted. So I soon became noticed for my great energy and unmatched vibes and it seemed as if everyone wanted just that.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Here in Houston there’s tons of things to do, from chilling in Herman park or taking a photoshoot downtown! I’m a content person! So day 1, you get here and we need to catch happy hour somewhere, so we head to Rice village. There, an amazing burger spot called, Hopdoddy is perfect for their appetizer and drinks during this time. Then the next day we have to be active, so we catch an early cycling class to get a blood flowing for the day. After getting cute again, we head out to go catch lunch at waffle bus. Afterwards head to a thrift store and take home a few finds. Next day is content day! In the AM, we try a new drink from Starbucks we saw on Tiktok and record the whole thing! Then head over to the Japanese tea garden to take amazing pictures and try the tea and boba! Next head to the Galleria to do some shopping and MORE CONTENT! To end the day, I want to try an indoor karting and arcade called, Anderetti’s. That place is AMAZING! Next, we catch brunch! I live for a good brunch and mimosas! At lost and found they have just that. I love their fluffy waffles and fried ribs! Then after the brunch head over to daiquiris to go! Just trust me it’s the best! Then of course you have to enjoy your buzz, so we head to midtown to enjoy the scenery and great bars! Since we’ve been on go mode this whole time, we stay in and have a game night with drinks! If you haven’t noticed, I love to workout! So to start the last day we start by getting a quick workout in! After we freshen up, we head to Jonathon’s the rub for a great lunch. Their lunch menu is to die for! Afterwards we head to the farmers market to see if there is any unique things to take home. If not head over to Montrose where they have great antiques! Then to end the night off, we go to reservations at Steak 48 baby! Tonight we are a couple of bougie queens! Then of course the next day is the flight, but to end the trip we need a Polaroid!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My support system! Which includes my mom, sister, and my boyfriend. I’ve overcome so much, been through so much that you would think I should’ve gave up on life a long time ago. But my very important system helped me realize that there’s more to life than just passing time.
