Before now, being plus sized was seen as being unhealthy or unattractive. In recent times, the narrative has changed and plus-sized women are being celebrated.
PlusSize Fashion Week Africa presents the first edition of its Masterclass themed ‘Glow up and Flawless’. The masterclass is aimed at helping plus-sized women see beyond their body size and help them cultivate an attitude of positivity in every facet of life. During the masterclass there would be talks on different topics with seasoned panellists on board. The topics for panel discussion are
Business/Finance, Mental Wellbeing, Plus-size Modelling and many more.
The masterclass is set to take place at 1 pm on Sunday 4th November, 2018, at the Main Banquet Hall, Oriental Hotel, Lagos.
The panellists who would be speaking at the masterclass are Bunmi Aboderin Talabi, Bukky Karibi-Whyte, Omilola Oshikoya, Glory Edozien, Gbemisola Adebayo, Dumebi Agbakoba, Feyi Luther, Chisom Ogbummuo, Titi Akinkugbe, Bukola Alba, Aderonke Eno Adefalujo, Temi George Taylor, Moremi Elekwachi; hosted by Yetty Ogunnubi and moderated by Temi Aboderin-Alao.
The PlusSize Fashion Week Africa was birthed out of the need to stop the stigmatization and body shaming of the plus-sized woman; we believe that every woman should be comfortable in her skin and body regardless of what the society thinks as long as they are healthy.
This year’s Plussize Fashion Week Africa is themed ‘
#BeautifullyMe’ and it as all about self-awareness.
This year’s edition of the PlusSize Fashion Week Africa is set to hold on
Saturday 3rd November, 2018 and
