Courtnye D. Heidleburg grew up on Chicago's North Side and now resides on the city's South West Side. While attending College, she became aware of the stigmas behind being termed "obese." As a full figured woman, Courtnye decided to know everything she could about the health, wellness, and support to help inspire the fuller figured community. Currently working on her first realistic fiction novel, poetry, as well as many of short stories, she hopes to expand the common conception of what it is to be a full figured woman. Her goal is to accomplish, through a hodgepodge of topics, awareness and most importantly uplift the full figured community of women & young adults.
