Things to Do: The Fuller Woman Expo

Hey Everyone!

Just keeping you in the know about events with our curves in mind- The Fuller Woman Network will be hosting the "The Fuller Woman Expo" on September 19, 2009. I'll be making my way to Detroit and I hope that you will too! Read on...





History will be made when The Fuller Woman Network (TFW) travels to Detroit, MI for their first ever Fuller Woman Expo in the United States. Scheduled to take place on September 19, 2009, the Fuller Woman Expo is an empowering event embracing women for who they are and uplifting them with a positive approach. This year the Fuller Woman Expo is being held at COBO Hall and Exhibition Center from 10am-5pm.

Following the tremendous success of the first ever plus size woman consumer trade show in Canada, Georgia Greenwood of Toronto met Cassandra Jones-McBryde, a like minded plus size model advocate based out of Detroit, MI. Through numerous conversations both women discovered their shared goals and set out to bring the impact felt in Canada, to women in the United States.

The 3rd International Fuller Woman Expo will feature over 40 exhibits of the very best products and services including items pertaining to fashion, beauty, health, fitness, home, career, financial planning, education and much more. Attendees will also enjoy a full schedule of speakers, book signings, live musical performances, celebrity appearances, and cooking and design demonstrations.

Immediately following the Expo the Fuller Woman Network will present "Full Of Fashion", a fashion showcase featuring lovely models, from TFW Network, walking the runway with confidence and poise in some of the industry's top clothing lines and designers.

By bringing this trailblazing event to the United States, The Fuller Woman Network intends to change the way people regard size. According to TFW Expo Founder, Georgia Greenwood, “We are all different, some are tall some short some Black, White, Asian, slim or fat and that's the way it will always be. Once people truly begin to realize this, racism and size-ism will be eliminated and The Fuller Woman Expo is a step in that direction.”

Lane Bryant Outlet (a subsidiary of Charming Shoppes) the leading plus size women’s retailer has signed on as a corporate sponsor for the Fuller Woman Expo. The Fuller Woman Expo is presented by The Fuller Woman Network and will take place at Cobo Hall & Exhibition Center on Saturday September 19, 2009.

Women attending the Fuller Woman Expo can look forward to an empowering day planned with everything that enables them to live a productive life. In addition to women’s fashion, the 3rd annual Fuller Woman Expo will feature booths and demonstrations that speak to the needs of women while celebrating the plus size woman. As an added bonus, Lane Bryant Outlet has agreed to sponsor a contest in which one of the women attending the expo will have a chance to win a complete outfit.

As a company that has been in existence for over 100 years, the organizers of the Fuller Woman Expo are not only excited but honored that Lane Bryant Outlet would align themselves with such a worthy cause and movement.

About The Fuller Woman Network

Established in 2004 as an image consulting firm catering exclusively to plus size women with the motto, “Image for both Body & Mind” as our guide, The Fuller Woman Network has evolved into a facet of subsidiary companies ranging from clothing designs, girls camps to our newly created project The Fuller Woman Expo. Throughout this transformation we have had one goal in mind; the advancement, acceptance and celebration of the plus size woman. We are on a mission to empower these women to recognize their internal and external beauty through educational workshops and seminars where she will begin to accept, love, respect, treasure and celebrate her unique beauty and join the CURVY REVOLUTION.
