I have recently completed a book empowering women titled "Big Butts, Fat Thighs, and Other Secrets to Success: Empowering Women to Be Real in Business and in Life."

This book enables women to accept their big butts (a metaphor for imperfections) and actually use them to their advantage in forming the genuine relationships that are the key to business and professional success.

Before I was even old enough to enter the workforce, trying to hide my big butt was my life's mission. For way too many years, I was consumed with shame over my overweight body – my big butt and fat thighs. Superficial indicators of self worth were especially rigid for me, growing up in South Florida. I believed that my pudgy physique rendered me powerless and insignificant. By using the principles set forth in this book, I was able to transform myself from a fat girl apologizing for her very existence, to a successful, albeit chubby, attorney, entrepreneur, business woman, and community leader.

I want to share these secrets with you. I do not want you to waste another minute of your life focusing on your big butt. I want you to instead, embrace your vulnerabilities and go on to conquer your dreams. Big Butts, Fat Thighs and Other Secrets to Success will not tell you how to get rid of your big butt. Unlike all the books that crowd your shelves, this is not a weight loss book. There will be no diet tricks or low calorie recipes. Likewise, this is not like the other business books out there, pushing you to act like your male counterparts in order to achieve success. On the contrary, this book will teach you how to achieve success just by being yourself – big butt and all!
