Year End Community Spotlight - Raqui from LIC
We asked our friends from the plus size community this question regarding 2008: With 2008 coming to a close, what will you remember most about it and why? We were thrilled to hear from Raqui from Large in Charge Magazine and Radio.
Raqui writes,
For me this year was a year of Goals, that has been my mantra for 2008. My Goals shall be reached in 2008. From the beginning I have achieved so many lifetime goals. I performed my poetry live in front of an audience three times. I was declared winner of FRIDA’s 2008 annual recognition of a woman who makes a difference in the lives of disabled women. I was featured on The Tyra Banks Show in April. I also started my Online Radio Show in April. I was able to make it to Vegas Bash and covered the event on video. I was part of two art projects one that was featured in W Magazine. I was also in a Swedish documentary. These are just a few of my goals many more personal goals have been met and are still being worked on. While so many positive things have happened, there were negative things that threatened my happiness daily. But still my love for the Plus Sized Community held me strong and helped me to continue to do what I love to do. Support my Community.
With 2009 looming before us I see Five years of LargeInCharge coming in March, Our third Cover Model of the Year coming, and our Fourth Search already underway. One Year of LargeInCharge Radio is soon to be here and I am like a proud Mother thinking of the day when I first bought LargeInCharge.com, I am so thankful for all the new people I have met and the new friends I have made while doing all the things I do.
So much love to my Plus Sized People! -Thank you Raqui
