A popular public figure recently hosted an appreciation experience celebrating women with notable influence in fashion, beauty, entertainment, and empowerment.
Influencer/writer Maui Bigelow’s 10th annual Life Styled Honors took place in Atlanta, Georgia, and brought out the likes of Juniyah Palmer, Tokyo Vanity, Zatima actress Nzinga Imani, and Raynell “Supa Cent” Steward.
The ladies were just three of the many attendees who enjoyed five days of fashion, beauty, and empowerment via events that celebrated curvaceous women and their impact.
“At the heart of this event, we are celebrating the beauty and greatness of the Black woman,” Bigelow told MadameNoire’s Ryan Dennis. “Our initial foundation was to create a space for plus-size women. And over time because we have grown and understand that you can’t create one certain space for Black women. It just became a space to celebrate women doing amazing things and inspirational and aspirational things for Black women and girls.”
“I never imagined in 2013 when I started this that I would be here. It was a one-day event,” Bigelow added. “Now we’re at five days.”
