believe that we are all beautiful. Women of all color, age and size.. are all
beautiful. Some of us need hand holding in realizing our strengths and
recognizing our beauty. This is what we thought we could help with. I can help
people understand their body type, and also explain how simple everyday casuals
can be styled differently to get different look using the same separates.”
