Taking a stand can lead to good things.

Just days after her brave open Facebook letter against harsh beauty standards in the fashion industry went viral, U.K.-based model Charli Howard signed with a new modeling agency .

Howard said she wrote the letter a day after her former agency dropped her from their roster , allegedly criticizing her "too big" body (a U.K size 6/8, or U.S. size 2/4). She signed the powerful note with a clear message: "Until (and if) an agency wishes to represent me for myself, my body and the WOMAN I've become, give me a call. Until then, I'm off to Nando's."

That agency came calling when Trudi Tapscott caught wind of the letter. Tapscott works as modeling agent with Muse Management , a New York City-based agency that represents Candice Huffine and Denise Bidot, among others.

"Charli Howard took control of a situation she could not, and would not change," Tapscott told The Huffington Post. "She did not let the circumstances change her drive to model. That's what impressed me about her."
