BU's annual Women's Day of Dialogue will be held on Saturday, March 9, at 11 a.m. in honor of National Women's History Month with guest speaker, Stacey Nadaeu, who will deliver an inspiring message about her journey as a plus size mode, and how she overcame the backlash from society. Nadaeu challenges the audience to question the real meaning of beauty for both men and women, and have them begin to think of ways they can be catalysts for change. Following her presentation there will be time for questions and answers and a roundtable discussion to further dissect the topics of body image, self-esteem, and what it means to be a woman in today's society!

Stacy Nadeau is a brave Dove "Real Woman" who stood proudly along with 5 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.

The campaign has received unprecedented national media coverage and has been included in more than 85 national stories! Stacy has appeared on everything from a ten minute Today show segment, to CNN and a talk show circuit normally reserved for movie stars: Ellen, Dr. Phil, Tyra and even Oprah, twice! #SpeakerSeries.
