Size Discrimination Law
As of November 2023, NYC mandated strict adherence to laws banning size discrimination, and many other cities and states are following suit — but most people are unaware of their own biases against people in diverse bodies, making it difficult to know what changes must be made to prevent discrimination.
The Gorgeous Agency offers industry-specific workshops designed to help you protect your company and create a brand where all bodies are welcome.
Special pricing available for Transform attendees who book by April 15th!

Not sure where to start with body inclusivity?
This is for you.
This engaging and informative online workshop introduces the core elements of body inclusivity, how to be an ally, and how to advocate for a workplace and world where all bodies are welcome.
A Harvard study showed that while negative attitudes based on race and gender have decreased, biases based on size remain consistent. Most people are unaware of their own biases against people in diverse bodies, making it difficult to know what changes must be made to prevent discrimination.
You will learn what weight stigma is, how it affects people of all sizes, and what you can do to make your workplace welcoming for people in all bodies, no matter your job title.
Pre-order by April 15 to be the first to receive this one-of-a-kind training, and take the essential step toward authentically connecting with the 65% of Americans in larger bodies and creating a workplace where every body is welcome.
