Big girls should never feel small.
Accepting bigger bodies is good for all bodies.
When we stop demonizing bigger bodies, every body benefits. Together, we will challenge the world to look beyond physical appearance and empower our community to create a life beyond society's perceived limitations.
My hope is that from my blog you’ll become more comfortable in your skin, more confident in who you are and more capable to create the amazing, fulfilling life you deserve.
