About




Women and girls are facing emotional challenges like never before. While social media helps pursue areas of interest and enables the sharing of thoughts and ideas, it can also have a negative impact and contribute to low self-esteem. Some of the most impactful ways to help empower women and girls every day include creating awareness, supporting education, mentoring and encouraging them that they can do anything.

To celebrate what makes each woman and girl unique, Karen Michelle in partnership with Artists for Trauma will host its 8th Annual Love Your Body Event (LYB) on October 3rd. The fashion show and shopping event empowers women and girls of all shapes, sizes, ages and ethnicities, giving them an opportunity to walk a red carpet and shine.

Karen Michelle, Los Angeles-based lifestyle brand entrepreneur, is committed to empowering women and girls and encouraging them to love themselves – mind and soul, not just their body. The LYB event creates an opportunity to meet, interact with and learn from diverse women who look to inspire each other. Showcasing designers, vendors and partners, the event is also a fantastic chance to highlight emerging fashion trends and promote brands to fashion-minded individuals in Los Angeles.

Complementing the red carpet and fashion show, the LYB event will showcase designers, dozens of vendors and will be filled with cosmetic treatments, hair and makeup tutorials, photo opps, swag, shopping, lunch, dessert reception and the presentation of prestigious Karen Michelle Heart Award. This year’s recipient of the award is Deborah Alessi, CEO/Founder of Face Forward, Inc. for her outstanding contribution to the community. The Heart Award will be presented by previous recipient, Laura T. Sharpe CEO/Founder of Artists for Trauma, a partner of this year’s LYB event.

With the LYB 2021 on track to being the best and most successful yet, the event is a fantastic chance for sponsors to gain brand exposure while supporting the empowerment of women and girls.
