The Health, Love & Wellness Festival will include health screenings, a Super Smash Bros tournament, a musical tribute by Alise King and more. Tickets support the Full & Fabulous Curvy Girl Project, a local nonprofit that promotes healthy habits and positive body image for young women.

Dr. Sharon DuMas is the CEO of Full & Fabulous and the organizer of the Health, Love & Wellness Festival. She’s also Stevie Wonder’s cousin. She joined CultureShift to chat about the festival, her charity work and spreading love through recognition.
