It's time to weigh in on the final curve of the Phatt Ambassadors Search 2020.

The brainchild of Phatt Events and Differently Beautiful owner, Melissa Smith, she says she is dik excited about the competition.

“We’ve been running this competition since 30 December with a mission to highlight plus-size women and celebrate what society deems overweight,” says Melissa.

There are currently 20 plus-sized women about to pull their weight in the run-up to the top 10 to be announced on 7 March.

“Phatt Events are an embodiment of self-love, it’s an unwavering ability to lift yourself up while lifting up those around you, an unlimited and uncontainable shine that these ladies exude,” she says.

Melissa says this event comes on the back of the Phatt Pool Party she hosted last year.

“We hosted the Phatt pool party which brought countless plus-size women from all over Cape Town and the Boland to strut, splash and slay in their sexiest swimsuits without shame or judgement,” adds Melissa.

“The space filled up with so much phattness, we were forced to host another one after an influx of email requests and inboxes as to when the next one will be hosted.

“Each one of them had their own little insecurities and issues, but with the boldness that lies within, they managed to look past it.”
