What is your greatest passion?

My greatest passion is to inspire and encourage people! That is why I started Chubby Diaries. I saw a population of people who were excluded from the travel industry and I set out to inspire!

What is the greatest lesson you have learned?

All my life I felt that I was supposed to be or do what others deemed fit and acceptable so my greatest lesson I’ve learned is that I don’t have to wait for or get permission from anybody to walk out what I feel like I should be doing.

What is one thing you know that every other business owner should know?

Consistently serving people and their needs will make you a successful business owner. Your business should solve a problem for people. You should be in the people business no matter what you are selling or have created.

What is Chubby Diaries going to do that has not been done yet?

Helping Chubby, Fat, Curvy,  Big, Plus size People travel the world! We are going to revolutionize the travel industry, by making it more accessible for larger people to travel and become the representation in spaces (mainstream media) where plus size people are not represented.

Where did you get the idea to start Chubby Diaries?

I wanted to be a travel blogger and most folks said hey you should pick a niche, I was given 3 questions that help you discover what your niche is. After completing the questionnaire, I realized one thing that was unique about me is that I am a big guy who travels all over the world (I’m a Unicorn). So that made me ask the question of “Why aren’t there more of us traveling?” Found out fear and a lack of accessibility was the issue. This then sparked the idea of Chubby Diaries!

How do you see Chubby Diaries providing solutions to the plus-size travel pipeline/industry?

One, we get to be that conduit between brands and consumers. Two, we can bring solutions by creating quality content that informs and inspires people. Three, we provide plus size friendly trips around the world that anyone can enjoy!
