The world is starting to take notice of the plus size fashion industry and it feels so good but I often think, “what about the activists?”
Activists have the ability to rally like minded individuals together while focusing on social issues that affect them. Before your favorite fashionista created your favorite fashion blog, the activist in her screamed, “it’s time for a change”. So this month we celebrate women, plus size women who are making great strides by using their voices and telling the world about their platforms and how great plus size women are.
Take our April cover model, Christina Mendez. While interning with disabled children at the age of 17, she had no idea that she was getting prepared to raise a wonderful son, who just happened to be autistic. Her story goes further than her success of being a plus size model.
The women featured throughout the month of April have day jobs, they are mothers, models, sisters and wives yet they find the time to tell the world what they are most passionate about. They stand up for what they believe in and encourage you to do the same.
This month we challenge you to pick a cause and tell the world about it. Let us know what you support and why and we may feature you as well.
