Meet Jae!
Hey y’all my name is Jae one of the Founders of BnF. I’m extremely excited about this journey we started. As mentioned in our welcome; Broke and Fluffy was created with a sense of community in mind and giving us regular people a voice in a world filled with everyone fighting for clout(yeah I said it..lol). So a little about me, I’m 31 years YOUNG *snaps fingers*, single and no kids. Originally from New York but most of my life I’ve been down here in sunny SoFlo where hurricanes are nothing but indoor bbqs and Netflix binges. I hope that you find comfort within our empire to & through time we’ll all get to know each other. I have a wonderful team of people behind me and you’ll be introduced to them soon, so check back for that. In the meantime.. fluffy is a lifestyle sis..#letsgo

OUR STORY
THE BEGINNING
The idea of Broke and Fluffy started back in 2013 when two friends were chatting about life's woes because one had just been let go from the office job they were working at together. Though it wasn't the best of moods they managed to laugh it off. One joked and said “I guess we'll forever be broke”, then the other added - “and fat.” From there they fantasize about a community of plus size people that can come together and speak on the different struggles we may face...we took our idea to Facebook. While we had friends ranging in all sizes we decided that Broke and Fluffy should include everyone but highlight on the plus size community and starting a conversation among all body types. Quickly, life kicked in and BnF was now at a standstill but one of the founders still had dreams of this community existing one day.
NOW
After years of researching and seeing all these #fatpositive blogs, Jae, one of the founders realized that majority of them were either fashion or fetish based. Rarely she saw anything dedicated to everyday life. What about the in between? We are just as special as anyone else! From there, Jae made a commitment that Broke and Fluffy will come to fruition in 2019.
