To celebrate Women’s History Month, the Office of Campus Life Power of Women Programs welcomes motivational speaker and former Dove Beauty Campaign Spokesperson Stacy Nadeau to campus on Wednesday, March 7, 2012. Stacy travels the country speaking about “Embracing Real Beauty” and the importance of the role that men and women play in incrementally changing the message that young women receive about body image and beauty. Here’s a little more about Stacy:

Stacy is a brave Dove “Real Woman” who stood proudly with five other women in her underwear in the summer of 2005 as part of the Dove Campaign for Real Beauty. This campaign and the “Real Women” ads which celebrated the diversity of body shapes and sizes generated national attention when they hit billboards from coast to coast. Stacy and the other women truly brought the mission of the Campaign for Real Beauty to life which is to make more women feel beautiful everyday by widening today’s stereotypical view of beauty and inspiring women to take great care of themselves.
“This is my time to encourage and help women feel great about themselves no matter what they weigh or look like,” she said. “Women have surrendered to diets and insane eating habits to live up to social stereotypes for too long. It’s time that all women felt beautiful in their own skin.”

Stacy is a proud graduate of DePaul University who lives in Chicago, IL with her Wheaton puppy, Dyson. She works full time speaking and writing full-time, encouraging women all over the country to focus on the positive and feel great about themselves.

This event is free for the UALR campus community. A light lunch will be served.

If you have any questions regarding this event, please contact Emily Cox at 569.3308.

Come join the Power of Women and Ladies Who Launch for this FREE movie night!

Set in Mississippi during the 1960s, Skeeter is a southern society girl who returns from college determined to become a writer, but turns her friends’ lives — and a small Mississippi town — upside down when she decides to interview the black women who have spent their lives taking care of prominent southern families. Aibileen, Skeeter’s best friend’s housekeeper, is the first to open up — to the dismay of her friends in the tight-knit black community. Despite Skeeter’s life-long friendships hanging in the balance, she and Aibileen continue their collaboration and soon more women come forward to tell their stories — and as it turns out, they have a lot to say.

Stars: Emma Stone, Viola Davis, Bryce Dallas Howard, 146 minutes, Rated PG-13.
