theCURVYcon co-founder CeCeOlisa on being overlooked by the fashion industry: 'We knew that our community saw us'

CeCe Olisa is making waves in the fashion industry. She’s a blogger, entrepreneur, fitness influencer and one of the founding members of TheCurvyCon — a three-day convention that brings together celebrities, body-positive influencers and their fans to celebrate diversity and fashion inclusivity.

The first example of this is when Olisa was in college, where she decided to major in musical theatre. “I think he just eventually got tired of fighting,” she tells Yahoo Lifestyle of her Nigerian father, who originally tried to sway her decision to pursue the arts. Years later, she’d take him to her own speaking engagements so he could truly see what she does. A full-circle moment, indeed.
