I Slay - A Plus Size Community

May is Mental Health Awareness Month and at I Slay we hold space for the full spectrum of what it means to be human. The joy, the growth, the burnout, the healing, the figuring it out as you go.

Our mission has always been rooted in community, connection, and creating spaces where people feel seen, supported, and celebrated exactly as they are. That includes the days that feel heavy and the moments when showing up looks different.

We believe in checking in with ourselves and with each other. In choosing rest without guilt. In speaking kindly to ourselves. In building a community where vulnerability is met with care and not judgment.

This month and every month, we invite you to move at your own pace, to honor your needs, and to lean into community when you need it most. You are never alone here.

Take what you need, give what you can, and remember that your wellbeing matters deeply.

Thank to everyone who showed up for the clothing swap yesterday. It’s always a good time seeing all your faces walk away with so many great goodies y’all cleared us out!

We look forward to seeing you in May at a new space that we’re visiting.

Be sure to RSVP link in our bio go to our website to get all the details and more!

if you’re interested in volunteering with us that day sign up or comment below and will reach out to you.

We believe in being real with our community, always.

Sometimes that means making hard calls. When attendance is low, moving forward with an event can take away from the resources we need to continue offering things like our free clothing swap and other programs you love.

We want you to know that every event is created with intention, care, and based on what this community says it wants. And while we are a nonprofit, we operate with very limited funding behind the scenes.

Your support matters in every way, but especially in showing up.

Thank you to everyone who continues to attend, share, and stand with us. We’re building something meaningful together, and we’re not going anywhere.
