BET.com’s THE GLAM GAP is a weekly video series spotlighting Black entrepreneurs and influencers in the beauty, fashion and lifestyle space.

The fashion expert prides herself on always dressing to impress, and that was clear when BET chatted with The Curvy Fashionista founder and editor-in-chief from her expansive walk-in closet earlier this month.

Fast forward decades later, and in 2008 she launched The Curvy Fashionista, inspired by a gap she saw in the plus-size industry.

So she started her own, a platform that now boasts over 100K followers on Instagram, and a loyal following that she credits social media for catapulting into the spotlight, and aiding in lending a larger voice to plus women who have often felt shut out by the fashion industry.

And now, with 12 years of The Curvy Fashionista under her belt, championing curvy women, and serving as a constant source of fashion inspo, Denee knows a thing or two about the brands that are doing it the right ways, and she does her best to highlight them whenever she has the chance.
