As much as I love art and culture, fashion and beauty, I’m also a fan of politics and politicians whose platforms center and elevate the human condition.
Today's @fullbodyfrequency guest has gone from Certified Nursing Assistant to the Illinois General Assembly representing the 9th district. And while folks say that all politics are local, Lakesia Collins has made a national impact with her work on behalf of workers, including the Fight for $15, the movement that advocates for the $15 dollar per hour minimum wage.
Between June and July of this year, she sponsored over 20 bills in the IL General Assembly while remaining on the frontline, fighting for the rights of workers and children.
In addition to her work, Illinois State Senator Lakesia Collins's story of pushing past trauma and moving forward to the plus-size life she now lives is absolutely inspirational!

FBF Plus-Size News Spotlight: Nina Parker's New Collection for Macy's, Staud Extends Sizes
Today’s Plus Size News Spotlight is all about fashion.
Nina Parker of E’s Nightly Pop talks to Women’s Wear Daily (https://wwd.com/fashion-news/fashion-...) about her new plus-size Collection for Macy’s, which debuts on Friday, May 14. According to the publication. “The collaboration is the first plus-size brand designed by a Black woman for the retailer.” I can’t tell you why it’s taken so long for this to happen. But, having seen the beautiful dresses that Nina Parker designed and made for herself during Hollywood’s award season, Nina Parker clearly understands design: cut, color, fit, wearability, and SLAY!

According to Refinery 29 (https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/stau...,) Staud quietly dropped its new high-end, plus-size clothing line. Prices range from $135 for a tank top to $450 US dollars for dresses. I peeped the collection and am ready to be a Staud girl. Its new extended suite collection is the perfect complement to the company’s lovely handbags. Quick warning, some of the items in size 3x have already sold out, https://staud.clothing/collections/ex...
