Happy Friday! We\u2019re back with another round-up of the biggest news in body positivity. Get ready to find out what\u2019s changing in the plus-size retail world, why breastfeeding in public is doubly hard for plus-size moms, and so much more. Here\u2019s your full recap for the week of October 15th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. The retail industry is starting to understand the need for great plus-size fashion<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Big retailers are finally realizing what we\u2019ve known along\u2014that shopping should be a positive experience for all women. Brands are approaching size inclusion in different ways, including offering broader size ranges in stores or launching online collections, but one thing\u2019s for certain\u2014real change is on the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Plus-size moms face double the discrimination when breastfeeding in public<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When body-positive writer and activist Marie Southard Ospina<\/a> breastfeeds her baby in public, she feels like she\u2019s being watched under a magnifying glass. In her experience, all women encounter a certain level of judgment when breastfeeding\u2014but, for plus-size bodies, the scrutiny is amplified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. How Queer Eye<\/em>\u2018s breakout star learned to love the skin he was in<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grooming expert and delightful tour de force Jonathan Van Ness is known for inspiring confidence in the people around him\u2014but it wasn\u2019t always sunshine and roses for the rising star. Thanks to growing up different from his peers, developing an amazing sense of humor, and faking it until he made it, Jonathan was emboldened to become the self-love cheerleader he is today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Hunter McGrady launches her new Sports Illustrated <\/em>column<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week, plus-size model Hunter McGrady released the first installment of her brand-new column, \u201cHello, Hunter.\u201d In this new monthly series, Hunter will take to the internet to answer the questions she gets the most often. To kick things off, she\u2019s explaining what \u201cbody positivity\u201d really means, and how it\u2019s important for people of all sizes, genders, races, and ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. The red carpet struggles of plus-size women and people of color<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When celebrities walk the red carpet for a big event, the usual practice is borrowing a sample from a designer showroom. But for the women who don\u2019t fit into sample sizes, or fit the mold of who designers see as \u201cworthy\u201d of dressing, options are few and far between. According to size-inclusive fashion designer Christian Siriano, that\u2019s why it\u2019s so important to give student designers the tools to create pieces for plus sizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
