JALESA AKA CANDIXXDREAMZXX

AGE: 28 -- HOMETOWN: SAN MARCOS, TX -- CURRENT CITY: SAN ANTONIO, TX

I work as a Licensed Insurance Agent. I just want to continue a path of inspiring curvy women to show their confidence (and curves) to the world. Well that, and, I am a beautiful, gorgeous, and sexy woman! I am a Curvy Situation, all by myself! The best advice I could give to a someone who is curvy is to remember:

It does not matter what the scale says or what the next person's sees. It is all about what you say, and what you see. You are the only person that you need to make you feel beautiful. It is not meant for the world to cater to you and boost your ego and shower you with compliments of beauty. That is up to you! So be you... ALL OF YOU... Laugh like it is the funniest joke, every time! Smile like it is picture day and you were voted Sexiest Smile EVER! Strut with the confidence of Tyra Banks like no one else is looking, because they don't matter anyways! Each hour of each day is a blessing to anyone who gets to enjoy it, remember the beauty in that, because even the most beautiful person in the world, has a bad day!

Octavia is a small business owner of 3 entities. Boss Movement LLC, Exotica Plush Ent., and Lady O's Plus.

I feel as though I should be Curvy situation Of The Week because after going through a divorce and being homeless with two kids, I wanted to inspire other women to never give up. The advice that I would give to someone who is curvy like myself and may feel as though they are not beautiful is that you have to remember that you are beautiful. If you don't think that you are beautiful, no one else will. Confidence is the best thing you can wear as a curvy woman. Confidence is not just based on your looks, it is also in your personality.

SHANIQUA AKA SHYY THE MODEL

AGE: 26 -- HOMETOWN AND CURRENT CITY: QUEENS, NEW YORK CITY

OUR CURVY SITUATION OF THE WEEK WORKS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS ADULTS AS A DIRECT CARE PROFESSIONAL.

SHE FEELS THAT SHE SHOULD BE CURVY SITUATION OF THE WEEK BECAUSE SHE STATES THAT SHE IS THE DEFINITION OF CURVES. "I MODEL BECAUSE I WANT TO SHOW PEOPLE, SPECIFICALLY YOUNG GIRLS THAT CURVES ARE BEAUTIFUL AND SHOULD BE EMBRACED AND THIS PLATFORM WOULD ALLOW ME TO REACH OUT TO THEM AND LET THEM KNOW THAT IT'S OKAY TO BE PHAT (PRETTY HOT AND THICK)."

AS FAR AS ADVICE TO GIVE TO THOSE CURVY WOMEN WHO MAY NOT FEEL THAT THEY ARE NOT BEAUTIFUL, SHE SAYS THAT SHE WOULD TELL THEM THAT IT IS NORMAL TO HAVE INSECURITITES BUT NOT LET THEM TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR MIND AND HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT YOURSELF. "I WANT THEM TO LOOK IN THE MIRROR EVERYDAY AND LEARN TO LOVE THEIR CURVES AND TO KNOW THAT THEY AREN'T ALONE. EMBRACE THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE GORGEOUS."

EBONY

AGE: 32 -- HOMETOWN: ODESSA, TX -- CURRENT CITY: SAN MARCOS, TX

Our curvy situation of this week is a bus transportation monitor for the San Marcos Consolidated Independent School District.

"I should be the Curvy Situation Of The Week because I know there are a lot of young women out there that are curvy and may not think that they are beautiful. If there are curvy women out there showing off their curves and their natural beauty, they will likely think...well she's curvy and beautiful...I can do it too."

My advice to these young women out there with curves would be to not let anybody tell you that you are fat and ugly. You should not be wearing that. My whole life I was told that I was too fat and too ugly. I wasn't this, I wasn't all that. It took me a while to love myself and to get to know myself and love my body. Don't let no one tell you that you should be a certain size. If God wanted you to be a certain size, he would have made you that size. God saw his in his eyes that he wanted you to be thick, curvy and beautiful. So...love yourself. You have curves for a reason. You have hips for a reason. You have more curves than most women do so love yourself."

SHAUNT'E

AGE: 41 -- HOMETOWN: MIAMI, FL -- CURRENT CITY: ATLANTA, GA

I currently work for the Dept of Families and Children and I also just started my own travel agency, 3D Travel Qwest. I feel like I should be the curvy situation of the week because I am first and fore most curvy, beautiful, very self confident, goal oriented, passionate, giving and humble. The best advice I could give a curvy woman who isn’t confident is to show her her beauty. We sometimes forget to adjust the crown of other queens so busy adding diamonds and rubies to our own crown. Sometimes all some needs is a good pep talk or a shoulder to cry on or just the fact that this person believes in their greatness is enough.

C. MICHELLE (THE PURPLE POET)

AGE: 49 -- HOMETOWN: ATLANTA, GA -- CURRENT CITY: CLAYTON COUNTY, GA

This week's Curvy Situation teaches kindergarten students and is and author/poet. "For years after having kids I battled with low self-esteem, where my husband would tell me that no other man would ever want me. After 2 failed marriages, I started soul searching and embarked on a journey to find myself. What I found out was that I am good enough, I am enough, I am Beautiful, and I am spiritual. Now in my late 40's I embrace every inch of me because I am every inch a Queen."

What does our curvy situation have to say to other curvy women who may feel they are not beautiful themselves? "I would say you have to love yourself first. People can pick up on those self-sabotaging vibes. My motto is: Know Thyself, Love Thyself, Heal Thyself. Love the way you are and work on any and all improvements for yourself. You are more than enough!

HANEEFAH

AGE: 33 -- HOMETOWN: ORANGEBURG/HAMPTON, SC -- CURRENT CITY: CHARLOTTE, NC

Our Curvy Situation Of The Week this week is a Early Childhood Educator and Family Care Specialist who is currently in the beginning stages of opening a new Community Care Center of her own. She also works part-time with Jerido Productions helping other artists and models develop and grow in the industry to better prepare them for pursuing and living their dreams.

"I feel I should be the Curvy Situation Of The Week because I've faced many obstacles in life including domestic violence, morbid obesity, and almost losing my life to a brain tumor. All of which I have overcome. I just want my life and my story to be a testament to ALL women out there in that we are strong individuals, and together we are powerful. WE can overcome anything."

"For those who may feel like they aren't beautiful or that they're not enough, just remember that we all have flaws. Sometimes we have to step out of our comfort zone and make a change. Some things we can't change, and for those things we have to learn to accept that it's a part of who we are. We are imperfectly perfect. God designed each and every one of us with a divine purpose. Use your flaws to inspire and empower other women just like you to see the greatness in themselves, and to love themselves unconditionally. Don't wait for the world to acknowledge who you are. Live in your greatness now, and let the world catch up to you."

NAKIA

AGE: 41 -- HOMETOWN: DOUGLASVILLE, GA -- CURRENT CITY: CHARLOTTE, NC

Our first Curvy Situation of 2019 is a self-employed Home Health Care Provider but also a God-Fearing woman, wife, and mother.

"I feel I should be Curvy Situation Of The Week because (from childhood; age 9) I began developing and once I realized that I was never going to be skinny along with the validation of my parents, I learned from an early age to love and embrace who I am. I have always been a confident female. I live for uplifting and empowering ALL women, but especially women like me whom it seems God always puts in my path, to encourage! I live for inspiring and uplifting my fellow BBW sisters! I don't just TALK it, I WALK it in my daily life! Literally everyday, I make it my priority to compliment women, in the physical and on social media!"

"My advice to Curvy women who may suffer from low self-esteem or the lack of self-love, is to first remind themselves that they are a child of God, and God does not create mess. Secondly, to practice self-love, by SPEAKING it aloud daily to themselves, when they first awake every morning! If they make it a habit to say, "I Am Beautiful" as they look at theirselves in the mirror, they will begin to SEE it and BELIEVE it! What flows out of your mouth, will flow into your life! There's power in the tongue! Also, if there's something physically that is keeping them from loveing themselves, take the steps to fix those things! Especially cosmetic issues such as the dermatologist, dentist, nutritionist and getting in the gym, will all enhance the doubt of your natural beauty!"
