The "Real" deal: Dove campaign model to address self-esteem
 The Activities Programming Board will host motivational speaker Stacy Nadeau on Wednesday, November 19. Nadeau was featured as a “Real Woman” in the Dove “Campaign for Real Beauty.” She will present “Embracing Real Beauty” at 8 p.m. in Carter Hall in the University Center. Students are encouraged to attend. The campaign and the “Real Women” ads celebrating the diversity of body shapes and sizes generated national attention. Nadeau has continued the mission to make more women feel beautiful by widening the stereotypical view of beauty and inspiring women to take better care of themselves. “I have always been a curvier girl and always will be,” she said. “I am proud of my body and think all women should be proud of theirs too. This is my time to encourage and help women feel great about themselves no matter what they weigh or look like. Women have surrendered to diets and insane eating habits to live up to social stereotypes for too long. It’s time that all women felt beautiful in their own skin.” Nadeau has appeared on “Today,” CNN, and national talk shows including “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” “Dr. Phil,” “The Tyra Banks Show,” and “The Oprah Winfrey Show” – twice.
