As a woman dedicated to empowering and inspiring other women, I consider it my job to raise others up. Let's learn from each other!
As women, we have commonalities. Shared fears. Shared hopes. And, at the heart of it, we want many of  the same things. To feel valuable. To be rewarded. Cherished. To feel good about who we are!

I'm kicking off a brand new weekly feature, Chicks Who Rule!  Each week I will feature a different woman who will share her personal feelings on confidence and style. 

Listen. Learn. Apply. This is one of the great gifts in this world! I hope you enjoy my new series. If you want to nominate a Chick Who Rules (all ages, all sizes, all shapes welcome!) head over to the Contact page and drop me a note!

Meet Marie. She is a Chick Who Rules. 

Insightful. Free-spirited. Outspoken.
These are words easily attributed to Marie. The first time I came across her was a story online describing her observations while wearing a low-rise bikini at the beach. As Associate Fashion and Beauty Editor at Bustle.com, she spearheads the majority of body positivity and plus fashion content. Her personal blog, Migg Mag, is all about the celebration of the fuller figure, but she hopes to inspire all women to love each and every part of themselves, even those they've traditionally been told are "flaws," from their vi sible be lly outlines to their cellulite to their wobbly thighs.

1) If you could go back in time and talk to yourself 10 years ago, what advice would you give based on what you know now?  

Ten years ago, I would've told 14-year-old me to stop listening. Stop listening to all the people who told her she wasn't good enough. Stop listening to the people who told her being fat was the worst thing a human being could possible be. Stop listening to anyone who didn't see her beauty, her intelligence, and her uniqueness. Because she is beautiful, intelligent, and unique. And her body is part of all that.

2) Now let's zip forward, ten years from today. What do you want your Older Self to know?
