Full Body Frequency Episode 205 https://www.facebook.com/FULLBODYFREQUENCY/ Meg Burke is a recent graduate of The Theatre School at DePaul University. Armed with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in costume design, this curvy costumer is headed out into the real world. We’ll talk about the perceptions of plus-size professionals in the entertainment industry and whether or not she wants OR even could create a costume design practice around fat bodies. http://www.megburkedesign.com/ Growing up Linda RM Jones’ mother would often say to her, 'Beauty is as beauty does and you’ve got a long way to go.' In her new book, "Cordelia and Me: The Pains, Challenges, and Journey of Becoming Me," Jones explores the revelation of self-discovery, self-love, and the love of others in spite of childhood wounds and abuse. https://www.amazon.com/Cordelia-Me-Challenges-Journey-Becoming/dp/1530132614/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1466053098&sr=8-1&keywords=cordelia+and+me Joining Full Body Frequency later in the show is fashion designer Courtney Washington. We talk about his unusual beginnings in the fashion industry: designing for plus women FIRST and later adding small sizes to his highly anticipated fashion collections. We’ll also talk about why he relocated his manufacturing from NYC’s garment district to Kingston, Jamaica; how he’s revolutionized the game with one single fabric, AND he’ll even share his picks for this year’s hottest spring and summer fashions. http://www.courtneywashingtonstore.com/
