My Fuerza Story

Last week, Sealed with a Kiss Designs contacted me to talk about a new collaboration they're launching with plus size supermodel, Rosie Mercado.  The collection is called Fuerza, which is Spanish for 'strength'.  SWAK asked me to share with about what Fuerza means to me, or to tell them a story about when I had to tap into my own Fuerza. 

I told them about my trip to Guatemala last year with the non-profit organization, Common Hope.  It was such an intense, incredible week of my life- one during which I had to draw on many sources of strength. It changed my life in so many ways and taught me a lot about the strength within.  Click here to read my story, and stories from other friends in the plus size industry (like Aimee of Madison Plus and Maddy of Plus Model Magazine) - plus SWAK customers.  You can even submit your own story of Fuerza to the site.
