Occupation:
Motivational Speaker
Involvement with the
Campaign for Real Beauty:
Stacy Nadeau is a brave Dove "Real Woman"
who stood proudly along with 5 other women in
her underwear in the summer of 2005 as part
of the Dove Campaign for Real Beauty. This campaign
and the “Real Women” ads which celebrated
the diversity of body shapes and sizes generated
national attention when they hit billboards
from coast to coast. Stacy and the other women
truly brought the mission of the Campaign for
Real Beauty to life which is to make more women
feel beautiful everyday by widening today’s
stereotypical view of beauty and inspiring women
to take great care of themselves.
The campaign has received unprecedented national
media coverage and has been included in more
than 85 national stories! Stacy has appeared
on everything from a ten minute Today show segment,
to CNN and a talk show circuit normally reserved
for movie stars: Ellen, Dr. Phil, Tyra and even
Oprah, twice!
Stacy is excited about
the Campaign for Real Beauty because…
"I can be part of attempting to finally
change the media’s view on women’s
body types. I have always been a curvier girl
and always will be. I am proud of my body and
think all women should be proud of theirs too.
This is my time to encourage and help women
feel great about themselves no matter what they
weigh or look like. Women have surrendered to
diets and insane eating habits to live up to
social stereotypes for too long. It’s
time that all women felt beautiful in their
own skin."
Follow-On Projects:
Stacy extended her role in the Campaign for
Real Beauty by participating in various speaking
engagements and activities to help raise the
self-esteem of young women. She has attended
local Girl Scouts events in the Chicago area
speaking to young women on the importance of
positive self-esteem and how media can influence
their views. She has participated in similar
self-esteem building activities at the Chicago
Boys & Girls Club as well. Stacy accepted
an award, on behalf of Dove, at the National
Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated
Disorders Conference.
Numerous groups have
engaged Stacy to deliver her presentation on
self-esteem and real beauty, including:
Pace University
San Diego State University
Longwood University
Kansas State University
Kappa Delta National Conference
Girl Scouts of America
Boys & Girls Club
