How big women can make it happen in boardroom and bedroom

Big women should stop looking down on themselves but understand and accept their body for a confident look.

Laura is a plus-size woman and travelling in public vehicles for her is a nightmare. She recalls an incident where a tout embarrassed her because of her weight, “Mama lipia kiti yote ama ushuke ungojee lori.” This drew laughter from the other passengers. She ended up paying for two seats. Such is the kind of scorn plus-size women go through.

Such an experience can easily destroy one’s self-esteem. And such a situation is the reason Neomi Ng’ang’a, started Team Curvy Kenya, which offers a platform for plus-sized women to express themselves. The forum advises women on issues affecting them in various fields; health and fitness, business, career, sex and relationships.
