Essence Festival – My Black Is Beautiful Platform

My Black Is Beautiful (MBIB), an African-American community-building platform created by Procter & Gamble (P&G), celebrated 10 successful years of initiating and sustaining a broad dialogue around black beauty at Essence Festival in New Orleans. As the Official Sponsor of the Beauty and Style Expo within Essence Festival, MBIB galvanized thousands of African-American women and encouraged them to continue to fuel conversations around beauty and pride.

During the weekend leading into the 4^th of July, MBIB offered festival-goers with interactive, educational and engaging experiences that inspired them to be #BeautyEmpowered, while connecting them with P&G products with benefits for their hair and skin.

Fashion Tips and Style Inspiration for Curvy Women

I am a petite woman with CURVES which makes me a STRONG believer that anyone can look great (no matter what size clothing you wear.) This is my personal belief because I am the shopper who’s searching for a specific “size” (in pants) but yet they have to be short enough for my height!

With that being said, I have discovered over the years that it’s truly not about the size clothing you wear but how you style your wardrobe. And although there are certain items that are ONLY reserved for women who wear a size zero, our fashion industry’s so diverse that no one should resort to (ONLY) wearing leggings and a Mickey Mouse t – shirt (smile.)

Lucky for us, Marie Claire magazine has provided some great style tips for Curvy Women. The article ranges from accessories, formal gowns, and hair tips. Isn’t it wonderful to know that we can look good and feel great no matter what size clothing we wear!
