Tawana Blassingame - A Pioneer for Body Positivity

Tawana Blassingame is a pioneer for body positivity. As the creator of Queen Size Magazine, she helped pave the way for the underrepresented full-figured community. Tawana also highlights talent across various platforms at the Full Figured Industry Awards, where she is the creator and host. After just celebrating her third annual ceremony this November, Tawana hopes to continue helping people find love for themselves and encourage a more inclusive fashion industry.

I had the pleasure of attending the third annual Full Figured Industry Awards this November and was impressed by the community Tawana fostered together. All the attendees dazzled on stage and I enjoyed seeing them shine. Tawana has a special ability to make people feel seen and appreciated. No good deed went unnoticed. The night was filled with compassion, joy, and beauty from the inside out.
