What would it mean to you if you could be part of a community that not only recognizes your talents but also celebrates your uniqueness? Imagine an environment where plus-size individuals are valued and their contributions to their industry are rewarded. This is exactly the world, Tawana Blassingame, Executive Producer of The Full Figured Industry Awards and CEO, Editor in Chief of Queen Size Magazine. We are privileged to sit down with her in this episode as she shares her journey and aspirations, her love for podcasting, and the intricacies behind the Full Figure Industry Awards.
Tawana pulls back the curtain on the nomination and voting processes that make up the Full Figure Industry Awards, emphasizing the importance of impartiality and alliances within the industry. She reveals the satisfaction she gains from seeing the impact that plus-size representation in mainstream awards can offer. We also discover Tawana's insights into the gaps in men’s fashion within the plus-size industry and discuss her creative hobby - soap making!
We wind down with an honest conversation about our personal lives. Tawana conquers her nerves for on-camera interviews, and we both share our own experiences in our careers and our journey with mental health. We reflect on the importance of the communities we serve and express our gratitude to our listeners. We hope that by joining us, you too will appreciate the magic of awards, fashion, and community building in the plus-size industry. Tune in for an enlightening chat and be inspired.
