I had such a fabulous time in Atlanta with the ladies of Project Curve Appeal and Pick City Corporation! I was honored with the Curvy Icon Award at the 2011 Sisterhood Conference, which was given during the highly anticipated Rock The Runway Fashion Show and Team Runway Competition, which I also served as host. I was honored for serving the curvy community for over a decade, inspiring and uplifting many women along the way. As you can see below, the award is absolutely beautiful and even a week after the event I’m still excited about it! I’d like to thank Bev Wilson,founder and director of the organization, for all of her hard work and dedication into making all of this happen and for supporting all that I do.

The Sisterhood Conference is designed for women groups, clubs and organizations uniting for the ultimate experience, networking opportunities, shopping, fashion, women empowerment, and allows women to meet those from a variety of other organizations to establish new connections. During the event we were graced with performances by Thixotix Modeling Troupe from Los Angeles and Kurvy Kuties from Little Rock, Arkansas. In attendance were Clark Atlanta University’s Bold Beautiful and Chic Society, Classy Curves from New Orleans, lots of Miss Plus America queens were in attendance, including Ms. Plus America 2004, Debbie Shannon, as well as a host of other groups and organizations.

Prior to the event we held a Rock The Runway Designer and Boutique Challenge to give someone the opportunity to win a premiere spot in the fashion show and dress me for the evening! The winner was Thiq Boutique and the owner Chrystal J was a pleasure to work with, she is planning to open a storefront in Columbus, Georgia next year, so if you are in the area make sure you support! The Thiq Boutique specializes in unique yet affordable clothing, footwear, handbags and accessories for women who embraces their THIQNESS. Visit them online at www.thethiqboutique.com and “like” the boutique’s Facebook HERE

The most significant thing about the conference to me was that it was an inclusive event that didn’t exclude anyone that wanted to be involved, and for that reason they will always have my support! Overall the weekend was upbeat, positive, and truly about sisterhood by uniting and uplifting each other!

The 2012 Sisterhood Conference will be at the Hilton Hotel Downtown Miami September 21st – 23rd 2012. Visit www.sisterhoodconference.com for more details.
