Watch: This plus-size dance company is blowing away outdated stereotypes about what kind of body you should have to be a savage dancer

Dancer Akira Armstrong has been featured in two Beyoncé music videos, but when she flew to Los Angeles, she couldn’t find an agent to represent her — due to her size. So she decided to form her own dance company, and they are killing it.

Watch: Danielle Brooks just gave the most heartfelt speech about what it’s like to finally see your body represented in the media

And that’s the vision: As Brooks wrote, “Editors, we want to be seen. Designers, we want to be dressed. Retailers, we want options. Women, we must do this together.”

For all my plus size girls

- Coconut oil is great for boob sweat smelliness (it works for me, however if you’re protein sensitive or prone to body acne you might not want to do this)

- Diluted essential oils, natural deodorant or antiperspirant for thigh chafing.

- Crop tops? WEAR THEM.

- They want you to ride their face but you’re scared? Do it. They’re grown. They will find a way to breathe. You won’t crush them, I promise.

- Afraid to have sex with the lights on? Girl, they knew what they signed up for, flaunt them stretch marks. Guarantee you that your confidence will turn them on even more.

- Double chin troubles? Search for contouring videos on youtube

- Having trouble with confidence? Walk with your shoulders back and your head high, I promise you it works

-Scared to eat in fear of judgment? Please eat, they’re probably not paying you any attention and if they are? Fuck em

- Worried about if you could get away with wearing that? Well I’m telling you that you CAN. 

- Friends who make negative comments about your weight are not your friends !!!!

And last but not least important, ALWAYS remember:

-YOU FUCKING PRETTY, BITCH

This makes me very happy 💖

“Have you seen most of the plus-size sections out there? It’s horrifying. Whoever’s designing for plus-size doesn’t get it. The entire garment needs to be reconceived. You can’t just take a size 8 and make it larger. In my travels, I’ve been an advocate for larger women. I’ve been talking to designers, but only a half-dozen make an effort. Most say, ‘I don’t want a woman who’s a size 10 or 11 wearing my clothes.’ Well, shame on you! It’s not realistic

Love him.

"You can’t just take a size 8 and make it larger." Praise Jesus and all the saints for him saying this because damn, most “PLUS SIZED” clothing is fugly.

Amen. The plus sized clothing out there is crazy and makes me just…

I’m not surprised he said this. Ever since the first season, when they’ve had to do garments for everyday people who aren’t models, there’s always one designer (at the very least) who flips out as though they’ve never in their life considered that people who aren’t a size 0 might wear their clothes. Tim always looks at them like he wants to drown them in a lake.
