Speaking with Teen Vogue of her line, McGrady said “I want everybody to feel worthy," she told Teen Vogue. "I want them to feel empowered, amazing, beautiful, comfortable in their skin. I want them to put on these pieces and feel like they can just take on the day and be the best that they can be, and I want people to know that we're all in this together."[18] In 2022 McGrady was featured on the cover of Health Magazine’s Jan/Feb issue.[19]
