Artist Spotlight: Fatima "Miss Tima" Gaskin

Welcome to Fashion Plus Blog' s new segment Artist Spotlight, geared towards the support and  progression of various types of artists. As newcomers in our chosen industries, it's difficult to navigate, and network among our peers; for this reason we felt it was our mission to showcase the talents of a new generation of artist, established or up and coming.

Fashion Plus Blog's first artist in the spotlight FATIMA GASKIN! This young woman has not only accomplished incredible things, she has also done it with determination and grace. Hailing from Newark, New Jersey Fatima attended Spelman College in Atlanta, has joined the Navy and is currently on active duty, while nurturing a modeling career, and raising a young man.  Forget Jack of all trades; take your left hand and beat the hell out of your right hand, and give it up to JANE OF ALL TRADES!

Realizing that giving back to the community is beneficial for not only the soul, but teaches our youth to appreciate their beginnings, and  look forward to future possibilities, Fatima and her son work as volunteers in a number of charities including Goodwill Drives, Breast Cancer Awareness fundraising, and sign up for work in soup kitchens. Never missing a beat, she also supports her son in his extra curricular activities; such as karate, gymnastics, and Lego robotics club.

Her bodies of work include:

- Print/Runway modeling
- Fashion/Film/ and Video services\
- Writings for print/online publications 
- Advertisements for clothing/shoes/accessory/ and other products campaigns
- TV/Radio 

My favorite quote from Fatima "Miss Tima" Gaskin:

"I learned I don't fit into the box of standard or plus size in modeling and instead of letting that stop me I owned it as another unique factor about myself."

Fatima has defiantly earned her spot on ARTIST SPOTLIGHT!

The Plus Size Poll! On The Come Up

Hola, Beautiful People! This is the first time I'm introducing The Plus Size Poll to Fashion Plus, I usually post my question via Instagram (www.Instagram.com/PlusSizePrincessDom) but I thought that the question I'm going to propose to you needs more air play than the few seconds of spotlight on Instagram. With that being said, I know that some of you guys in the plus industry can relate to attending events and trying to figure out which ones are worth your time, which would you would most benifits from, and which one will afford you the best connections. If you have, this is your chance to address your feeling in the matter.

Question: Do you or would you attend any events related to your industry regardless of if it would benifits you or not? Are you selective about events you attend that are hosted by entrepreneurs on the come up?

**Please leave your comments below! Also LIKE and SHARE so that we can get a well rounded response from like businesses.**

Are you on the rise?
