Ashley Stewart #LoveYourCurves Model Search w/ Celeb Guest Judge, Yung Joc [PHOTOS]

Fashion brand Ashley Stewart and Marie Denee (The Curvy Fashionista) has joined forces to create the Love Your Curves Tour. The tour is dedicated to empowering women to embrace their curves and building positive comradery with their fellow divas. The Love Your Curves Tour will hit several major cities in the U.S. and host an exciting weekend for curvy and fashionable women.

On Thursday (Jan. 15), the tour stopped in Atlanta, GA. To kickoff the weekend long list of activities, the Love Your Curves Tour held a model search at Ashley Stewart’s Camp Creek Marketplace location on the Southside of Atlanta. Special guest celebrity judge Yung Joc (“Love & Hip Hop Atlanta”) was joined by Tami (TalkingWithTami.com), Marie Denee (The Curvy Fashionista, People Stylewatch, Bustle, Refinery 29) and others. The model search served as the precursor for more activities throughout the weekend, which included a Girls Night Out Sip & Shop, Love Your Curves Fashion Show and United Negroe College Fund (UNCF) Donation events.

In efforts to give back to the Atlanta community and celebrate Martin Luther King Jr’s legacy, Ashley Stewart awarded $10,000 to two students from Spelman College and Oakwood University.
