In September 2023, I created an online magazine due to the actions of a stranger. He sent cover pages he designed that included pictures of me from my social media page.

There were two reasons why I wanted to check out “Survival of the Thickest“ on Netflix: 1. The main character, Michelle Buteau, is a plus-size woman of color who has done and is doing things I aspire to do. 2. My gorgeous—and equally talented—bestie, Ambre Anderson guest starred as “Dr. Britta” in episodes 7 and… Read More I Watched “Survival of the Thickest” on Netflix and Now I Feel More Awesome
There were two things I was looking forward to getting last week: an Ankara African dress from House of Izzi I ordered from Etsy and the digital release of the movie “Are You There God?

When you visited the Diary of a Stylish Buxom Beauty website, you were greeted by a Facebook Messenger pop-up, which was added to allow more engagement and serve as a vehicle to ask questions and share ideas.
