#HereIAm
I am so moved by this video JCPenney launched at Curvy Con. It inspires me even more to break the stigma of what is beautiful. This video has such a powerful message- a message that I can totally relate to and a struggle I know. I believe all body types are beautiful, unique, and this video takes us one step closer to body positivity and self love. #HereIAm Not only did JCPenney create this powerful video but also a first-ever private brand designed exclusively for the plus-size woman called Boutique+.
