Thanks JC Penney!

As you know, this weekend I went to The Curvy Con to mingle with bloggers and to be a vendor for God's Favorite Surprises. 

JC Penney proudly sponsored The Curvy Con all while launching their new line, JC Penney Boutique. 

The Boutique focuses on the plus size figure assuring that women feel confident, sexy and trendy while still being affordable. 

During the Curvy Con, JCPenney launched a powerful body positive message with some of the nation's leading voices in the plus size community. Specifically, this year's Project Runner winner Ashley Nell Tipton. 

In a culture where body shaming has become the norm, this video embodies the notion that all bodies are beautiful and capable and enough. 

Here is the #hereiam campaign, created to empower us all!

I was completely moved by the powerful message,  especially as a mother of a little girl who will face a world that will constantly tell her she is not enough

New York, Here I Come!

This week, I will be headed to The Curvy Con events in New York!

It's a two day event, Friday and Saturday (June 17th & 18th)

I will be there as a blogger but my business, God's Favorite Surprises,  is also one of the vendors!

I'm so excited!

I hope to see your face.

I will be in work mode most of the day but hopefully I will get to sneak and do one fun thing Friday night or Saturday night! 

I wish I had enough time to do a little mini meet up!

Follow me on Instagram this week and see what I get into!

Let me know if you will be there!

If you see me at The Curvy Con, stop by and say hi!

And buy something:)

Oh and the t-shirt I am wearing! 

I had these t-shirts exclusively made just for The Curvy Con. 

These cards and mugs are the best sellers on my site so I decided to make a few t-shirts for the New York crowd. 

Why is this important to you? 

Well, because AFTER Father's Day, I will be selling these as part of a package on God's Favorite Surprises. 

So, think of someone in your circle that deserves to be told "You Are So Dope!" then order a t shirt/mug combo and I will send it to them! 

Shirt: God's Favorite Surprises (Available after Father's Day)
Adidas Pants: ASOS
Shoes: Nine West

I also worked exclusively with Dana from Pardon My Fro to create another card for all of  the #girlbosses in our circles who simply SLAY!

Wish me luck in New York and if you're of the praying kind, pray for safe travels for me!
