Just press play to see the keynote conversation with Joy Nash and Gabourey Sidibe.
Sometimes I feel like my confidence comes before I know that it’s there. At the beginning of my career, it was stubbornness more than anything.
To wrap up the incredible weekend of celebrating our bodies, shopping for stylish clothes, and meeting other women in the community, theCURVYcon co-creators, CeCe Olisa and Chastity Garner, sat down with Oscar-nominated actress Gabourey Sidibe. As the first celebrity to mention theCURVYcon in a magazine, Gabourey was the natural choice for this year’s keynote conversation. The second she stepped foot on stage, her energy filled the room. She kept the excitement high as she chatted with CeCe and Chastity about everything from favorite boybands to refusing to stay “humble.” This is one conversation you won’t want to miss—plus, watch the full live-stream to hear from “Dietland” star Joy Nash!
Here are just a few of our favorite topics:
