Girl with curves
Tanesha Awasthi (“Girl with curves”), a licensed esthetician and multiracial American, started her award-winning blog in 2011. She studied at UC Berkeley with a degree in English and she supports the body positive and women empowerment movements. Cooperating with some of the most reputable and substantial fashion brands in the world, Tanesha was one of the first style bloggers to be featured in major fashion publications like InStyle or Glamour.
Having struggled with self-esteem and a major lack of confidence she realized that the road to loving herself would set her on a much more rewarding path. That was the moment the blogger decided to start GIRL WITH CURVES. At the beginning, it was not her intention to make a difference in the way women see themselves, but after some time Tanesha started getting a lot of messages from inspired women, who could relate to her.
What initially started as a personal style blog, has evolved into a site which inspires confidence through fashion, style advice, beauty tips and wellness. Girl with curves writes among others about overcoming bathing-suit anxiety, stretch marks or the ups and downs of pregnancy - topics, which many women are dealing with. The site also contains a diary of anonymous writers, which shows that mistakes and embarrassments can happen to anyone.
In 2013 the influencer introduced her first plus-size clothing collection, which featured skinny jeans, crop tops, skirts and peplum tops. 5 years later, she released an eye-catching collection in collaboration with Lane Bryant, which was selling out quickly. The 20 pieces available from size 12-28 reflect Awasthi’s style perfectly.
What Tanesha says about body positivity: “There’s no shame in struggling to love your body everyday, it’s completely normal and it’s okay. The struggle is a very real reality that lots of women live with every single day, not just sometimes. So if we can get even a couple days out of the entire the week where we don’t dwell on that weight gain, our pants being too tight, cellulite or any other so-called imperfection, we’re still body positive warriors!”
With her body positive attitude she encourages over 1.6 million girls and women worldwide to experiment and have fun with clothing and to develop a healthy relationship with fashion. Blurring out the strict lines between straight and plus size fashion Tanesha proves that great style goes beyond size.
A message from Tanesha:
My goal is to inspire unapologetic confidence, encouraging women to look and feel amazing, regardless of size. Remember, even a warrior is defeated in battle sometimes. But she keeps going, keeps fighting because she knows it's worth fighting for.

She creates content that is influencing. Jenn is using her platform for good and sending a real message. Recently she created a video with a simple thought - In My Feelings. Her favourite feelings are smell of sage, showing somewhere new to someone you love, clean house, when you 100% relate to a fortune cookie, cuddles with a dog, feeling like you are in a music video, a good hug.
Few messages from Jenn:
All of us tend to examine life only through milestones and successes, we cannot only rely on this events to make us feel full and happy. Small joys you experience everyday that have a cumulative effect on the way you perceive happiness. You have to stop focusing on trying to be interesting, focus more on being interested. We are all on our own paths. Stop focusing where you constantly need to be.
