The event ended with Author and Keynote speaker Sahar Paz.  Can I just say that she gave me multiple chills.  Her story was real and her words was even better. 

In the end the event sparked a lot of ideas and conversations that need to continue in not only the plus community but in women community in general.  The great thing is that this conversation doesn't end here.  Darlene along with Sahar will continue the discussion in March 2017 with the Redefining Healthy Workshop.
