Katie Sturino - Influencer,

Body-Positive Advocate, and Founder of Megababe

When going through a divorce, Katie gained a lot of weight, like many people do during a tough life event. Soon after, she found confidence and a self love that she found surprising. This meant she felt able to wear different kinds of clothes, and style herself in new ways, reinventing her look.

​This led to her starting her very own fashion blog, called The 12ish Style, that is all about looking great whatever size you are. She put a lot of work into it, hiring a professional photographer, and writing a lot of posts. This blog became her escape, as she channelled all the pain, upset and frustration of her divorce into creativity

​This blog very quickly turned into an online community of women, who shared their experiences of how the blog changed their opinions of their bodies dramatically in a positive way.

​This was a big motivator for Katie. 

Megababe is an amazing brand that creates products designed to take away some of the issues women face, such as chafing and boob sweat! They also sell super cute deodorant, and other hygiene products in chic and fun packaging.
