On Tuesday, a teen activist met with executives from Abercrombie & Fitch at their Ohio headquarters to discuss how to improve relations between young people.

Cali Linstrom, 17, of Illnois, accompanied by Darryl Roberts of the America the Beautiful Teen Empowerment Series and Lynn Grefe of the National Eating Disorders Association, met with executives on May 21 to talk about how everyone can work together to speak out against "anti-bullying and discrimination" after the retailer was under fire for recently resurfaced controversial comments from their CEO Mike Jeffries, according to a press release.

The meeting went very well, and executives were very receptive to ideas, according to Linstrom. "I feel very empowered and look forward to working with Abercrombie & Fitch to create ways that teens can be respected and the brand can thrive," she said upon returning home to Chicago Tuesday. "It can be a win, win for everyone. Just being able to voice my concerns and have them heard by a major retailer is awesome."

Linstrom had orchestrated a large and highly-publicized protest at the retail giant's Chicago store on May 13, responding to Jeffries' shocking comments made seven years ago about only "good looking and skinny people" being allowed to wear the brand's clothes. Abercrombie officials said no comment about the protest.

But Linstrom wanted an apology and meeting with brand executives so she planned another protest on Monday at the company's Ohio headquarters, but it was called off due to company's agreement to meet with her. Joining her in the fight was Roberts, who enlisted the help of Grefe and sent an email to the retailer about Linstrom last week.

A day after receiving Roberts' email, Jeffries issued a long-awaited apology, but did not attend Tuesday's meeting.

The brand offered this official statement about the meeting: "We welcomed the opportunity to meet with Cali Linstrom, Benjamin O'Keefe, Darryl Roberts of America the Beautiful Teen Empowerment Series and Lynn Grefe, president and CEO of the National Eating Disorder Association to learn about the work they are doing. We look forward to continuing this dialogue and taking concrete steps to demonstrate our commitment to anti-bullying in addition to our ongoing support of diversity and inclusion."

The company also reiterated their regret and apologized for any "offense caused by the comments made in the past which are contrary to these values."
