Their prominence is also beginning to spill over into the publishing industry , with more authors writing plus-size heroines into their novels . We ’ ve compiled a list of fifteen noteworthy “ Big Body ” beauties who are putting the POP back in Pop Culture !
Reality TV star turned television personality , producer , author and fashion designer , Linnethia “ NeNe ” Leakes is definitely one to watch .
