Confidence is something every woman should possess, and no one has advocated for this more than the original Golden girl, Essie Golden. She created the #GoldenConfidence hashtag and Instagram page that celebrates plus-size bodies, beauty and fashion. As a plus-size Icon, Essie has a “can’t stop, won’t stop” commitment to her audience which pushes her to constantly do more, like co-founding the brand Thick Laces. Thick Laces is a community for plus-size sneakerheads who know how to flex their style.
