She’s Got Belly…. A Real Beauty Revolution Begins!

On Monday’s NBC TODAY show, Matt Lauer interviewed Cindi Leive, Editor of Glamour Magazine and plus model Lizzie Miller. Miller, who bared it all in the September issue and revealed her tummy, has caused a lot of chatter on the internet. The positive reaction from women was overwhelming. Leive told Matt Lauer on TODAY Monday. “You get a reaction like this and you can really see it. It’s also a sign of the times that women are really looking for a little bit more authenticity and a little bit less artifice in every part of their lives.”
We’ve heard it before. We’ve watched as the Dove campaign began to “get real” and show models who weren’t the fashion norm; unrealistically svelte. But, this time, it feels different. There is a wave of change, and I’m seeing it happen right now! I’m working with the Leaders and the Entrepreneurs who are creating the future. These women are building a new world, a new way of being. They are stepping up and become the new role models for our young girls need. They are showing the world their authenticity by making the best of who they are. We can all do the same.
I applaud Lizzie Miller! I applaud Glamour Magazine. I think a Real Beauty Revolution has begun!

It’s in the Bag…Entrepreneur Nancy Gale Combines Business, Charity and Her Love of Fashion and Design

In 2000, Nancy Gale began Jamah by creating high-end, custom cast and crew gifts for film and television production. While Jamah’s clothes and bags were more about function and serving the masses, she thought it would be “fun” to design something more unique and tried her hand at making a handbag. By the end of 2007, Jamah was evolving very organically into a handbag company. Gale, a self-taught designer, has always had a creative eye. She finds her inspiration in architecture, nature, and sculptures and has a fascination with turning inanimate objects into something usable.
Jamah’s social consciousness extends beyond the bag. Gale is in the process of founding In True Fashion, a non-profit organization that builds self-esteem in American youth through process and mindfulness, increases awareness of the importance of products “Made in the USA,” and inspires a vision for a strong future.
Get involved by shopping for a cause. By shopping the Jamah Closet, you are helping launch In True Fashion. Part of the proceeds will go straight to the program, helping today’s youth and their strong future.
