As "Founder and Editor-in Chief" of BBW (Big Beautiful Woman) Magazine, the world's first fashion magazine for the plus-size woman, Carole Shaw is one of America's most entertaining, enlightening and exhilarating speakers. She amazes her audiences with her "larger than life" experiences as a thirty year veteran of the diet wars, publisher, producer, singer, actress, mother, and grandmother. Her message is also about renewal and continued zest for life and living after losing her husband with whom she shared a passion for love, laughter, respect and family that lasted over 40 years. Carole has lived what she speaks of. She is credited with starting the "large-size revolution" in America by showing and telling women that "God made St. Bernards and also made Chihuahuas which proves that God loves all of us...big or small." For almost 20 years, this "icon" for larger people has been a welcome guest on every major television talk show stating with Phil Donahue, Merv Griffin, Joan Rivers, Regis and Oprah Her inspiring talks are fact-filled, fun-filled and presented in a most entertaining style (with or without her piano). Yes, even a song or two can punctuate her message even more, when appropriate. (As a young singer with a hit record she appeared on such legendary shows as The Ed Sullivan Show).
