SPOKEN CURVES!!

Be it songs or poetry, vocal art moves me in a major way.  I can give countless accounts of hearing songs in church that moved me to tears, even when the word of the pastor didn't.  I just love the emotion and expression that comes with singing and spoken word.  That is why, I can honestly say that I am already a huge fan of the certified Phat Girl; Grande.  I recently met her in Columbus at the Rock and Roses hair and fashion show.  Before I had the chance to witness her gifts, I was pulled in by her amazing personality.  However, when she took the stage; I was just like “those wolves”, I cried “GRANDE’!” To continue reading this article, pictures and video click the link http://www.phatgirlfresh.com/#!fresh-life/cute

P.H.A.T GIRL FRIDAY

Me and Model Jessi sporting the latest FRESH TEE'S.

 HAPPY P.H.A.T GIRL FRIDAY TO ALL OF YOU!! I hope that today brings you lots of joy and relief, knowing that that weekend is upon us if nothing else.  I am especially happy today because I have two huge things to present to you.  It brings me such joy to know that my dreams are becoming reality and that in the midst of that I am helping others to come closer to their dreams.  I thank God for all that he has done and is doing in my life, simply because I know that it could have been another way.   I am the first to admit that I am perfectly imperfect, I know that there is someone out there some where who deserves God's favor far more than I do.  However, He has chosen me!!!  I am in no way trying to preach on this good (P.H.A.T GIRL) Friday, but I have to give honor where it is due.  I also have to reiterate something I have been saying for a while..... "It is time for us to activate our dreams in order to make them our reality.

The first announcement I want to make is that Full Blossom Magazine has published my very first article.  It can be found in their 7th publishing which was released today, January 11, 2013.  The article is entitled, "The P.H.A.T Girls Guide to Fresh" and it includes photos of the beautiful model Jessi.  I am very proud of myself and the work that I put into this because writing has been a dream of mine since I was 10 years old.  There is a lot of pain attached to my testimony, and there are two things other than God that helped me live through my hardships.  Those things were reading and writing.  Reading was my escape, it introduced me to things I had only dreamed about.  Reading taught me to live outside of my situation.  Writing, gave me a voice!!  Although I wrote secretly, It let me express what I felt and allowed me the freedom of expressing it in the manner I saw fit.   The magazine includes a number of great articles that cater to the needs and wants of full figured women.  It also features the beautiful model Samantha Lebbie.  I have a great amount of respect for Mello E. Andrews for making dreams come to life through this magazine.  I know that tapping into the plus size industry is not always as rewarding as it should be.  However, he works hard and it has proven to be rewarding.  For a man to work as hard as he does in a industry that is geared around women is huge and for that, he has my respect and appreciation.  In addition to Mello, I must say that Shay Rozay, a model and executive for Full Blossom Magazine, has been a God sent.  Our talks and her direction has been a huge asset to me.    Ladies, if you are looking for information, clothing suggestion or a magazine that you can relate to........www.fullblossommagazine.com

My second announcement is that Bigmama's Clothing will be releasing three new FRESH TEE'S,which will be a part of my 2k13 line of FRESH TEE'S.  I am very pleased with the progress that is being made with Bigmama's Clothing as a whole and I am looking forward to all that God has promised to do for me.  In the coming months, The P.H.A.T GIRL CLIQUE will be going out into different communities mentoring to young girls.  I will be attending Full Figured Fashion Week in NYC, and I plan to throw my hat in the ring for the Fresh face contest.  Last but far from least, I am preparing for Albany Fashion Week's 2k13 show.  I am beyond excited about this show because it is an opportunity to show the growth and progress that Bigmama's Clothing and Maui Bigelow have made in 365 days.  So please stay tuned because it is guaranteed to be FRESH!!!!!

The Rozay Way

First off, HAPPY P.H.AT GIRL FRIDAY!!!  I hope that you all have a great weekend and are able to get some me time. I have decided to do a little more with P.H.A.T GIRL FRIDAY.  Starting today I will spotlight A member of the P.H.A.T GIRL CLIQUE or plus size divas on the move.  So today, I would like to introduce to some, reintroduce to others and pay respect to............... Ms. Shay Rozay!!!!!

I have only had the pleasure of communicating with Ms. Rozay via social media and one phone conversation.  However, it is obvious that she is one of the most authentic people I have met.  From the moment of our initial contact, she was very warm, straight forward and lighthearted.  I must admit, I never expected a woman/model with her impressive resume to be as down to earth as she was.  She and I talked as if we were old friends, laughing and swapping stories for over an hour.  In spite of her established foundation, Ms. Rozay believes in me and my movement enough to say......"I would love to be apart of the P.H.A.T GIRL CLIQUE!"  She even went on to extend an olive branch to me and allow me to work with her on up and coming projects.  You don't find too many individuals with her star power that are so humble and gracious.  However, one thing is evident; Ms. Rozay is determined to be of service to mankind and she believes in girl power.

Before the glitz and glamor, Ms. Rozay was little Miss Shana Washington.  Born and raised as an only child in Queens, NY to Ms.  Robin Waldron.  Ms. Rozay, has always been a people person and has served as a mentor in several programs in her area and abroad. In 2005 she implemented “The Girl Club”, an informative female only mentoring group that focused on exploring different aspects of the urban teenage experience.  Now as an adult she is the voice of and for thousands of women.  Not just women in her region but all over the world.  She makes an effort to promote happiness, self love and confidence.  Ms. Rozay is a true philanthropist as she is constantly volunteering, donating and fundraising for the greater good of others.  She participated in the PLUS Model Magazine's MS Walk fundraiser and raised $200 as a walker. She worked as a street team leader for the Full Figured Fashion Week distributing advertisements and providing event information to public. In memory of her cousin she created the Jason Jones Scholarship Fund promoting violence prevention by using sports and other entertaining activities as an outlet for our youth. On July 9th,2012,  she hosted her first annual “Stop the Violence- JAY DAY” to raise money for a scholarship fund in her cousins name and honor. She spent the rest of the summer volunteering with Full Blossom Magazine’s Summer Youth Employment Program group “Stepup II Royalty” mentoring, teaching modeling techniques, interviewing skills, etc. She also formed a Full Figured Fly & Fabulous group that walked in the NYC Kidney Walk.

Although modeling was a childhood dream, Ms. Rozay was not driven to pursue it until after the death of her cousin.   In mid-2010 Shay was propositioned to model by Mello Andrews of the plus woman’s internet publication Full Blossom Magazine; she immediately began to explore the world of full figured fashion and hasn't looked back since.  She began her venture with Full Blossom Magazine on July 24, 2010 as a featured model at the grand opening of Johntine’s Plus Size Boutique. She participated in her first official photo shoot a week later.  Ms. Rozay won Full Blossom Magazine’s Cover Model Contest in early-2011 and she was featured on the cover of the 2nd issue.  To date Shay’s cover received  the most views in the magazines history. Quickly gaining popularity she decided to create a Facebook like page, “Shana the plus model”. Her creative energy birthed Full Figured Fly & Fabulous in May of 2011; a women's only Facebook group, she call’s it “A Secret Sisterhood” specifically for sharing inspirational & motivational experiences, stories and quotes. Over 400 females from all over the world participate in sharing self-esteem secrets, fashion tips & much more daily.  In 2012 Shay has been apart of the Sonsi FFFWeek Social Media Team & Street Team while working on a few different projects as the promotions specialist for Full Blossom Magazine and the executive assistant to Sakinah B, the Owner/designer of “curvy” clothing line Eyani Couture.

Armed with beauty, brains, style, class and curvy confidence, Ms. Rozay is truly the epitome of P.H.A.T GIRL FRESH!!! . Despite life's trials, Ms. Rozay has remained because the spirit of a true hustler can never be broken.  Her testimony proves that tragedy can be transformed into triumph and it is never too late to live your dreams. My advise to the world is to remember the face and the name because the world will see much more of Ms. Shay Rozay!!
