I distinctly remember being a child and overhearing my mom talking with her friends in passing about how old they were and all the changes their bodies had gone through since arriving at whatever particular age. I remember thinking to myself how "old" 38 was. Laughable right? I'm 34 years old now and I realize... Continue Reading →
It’s quite the time to be alive and existing in a plus size body! I remember growing up and never really seeing plus bodies in magazines or media or television; unless of course a plus body was feeding into some negative stereotype about the norms of fat bodies.

I have struggled for years to figure out how to formally talk about this subject. I used to be an "adult model".

I almost sorta kinda miss my desk; but hubby has rearranged our bedroom to include a little office space for moi. I thank God everyday for a... Continue Reading →
This weekend I had the amazing opportunity to attend The Curvy Fashionista's Style Expo! It was an AH-MAZING weekend full of plus size women who came to slay not only in style but in confidence. I got to network with the cream of the crop of the plus size community and it was more than I... Continue Reading →
* while some of the things in this article apply to all women; right now I'm speaking specifically to my experience as a fat woman.* When I was younger, I remember being the chubby one out the group always. For a long time I felt like the only guys who were interested in me were... Continue Reading →
Recently I was having a conversation with a friend and they told me that an old male friend of mine had quite a mouthful to say about body positive women and their ways. Now, what was intriguing to me is that this person was a man I used to date; which means clearly he has... Continue Reading →
