Pretty For A Big Girl: A BIG IMPACT ON FILM
Pretty For A Big Gurl is a daring dramedy that centers the lives of plus-size women as they make a name for themselves in the fast paced Atlanta, Ga. Balancing friends, work, relationships and the added pressure of the opinions of body shamers.
While most shows lean into the stereotypical plus-size woman narrative that paints the character as being the oversexed comical sidekick, aggressively desperately chasing a man, Pretty For A Big Gurl is shifting the culture by giving the audience a refreshing story. SPOILER ALERT – the plus-size woman is the main character!!!!
