What is your biggest challenge as a plus size professional ... wardrobing? Air travel? Perception/image? Energy/stamina? Outright discrimination?

Wardrobe/appearance. I feel like I always need to be performing “good plus size” i.e. full make up, excellent outfit, etc., especially on client site, to be taken seriously. I’ve spent so much money/time buying clothes online because physical stores don’t carry quality/fashionable plus clothes. I’m in a more creative role do I can get away with not wearing a suit/skirt/blazer as long as I’m excellently put together - if I had to do true business formal I’d be completely hosed.

Hi fishes!

I am seeing too many post about awards like rising star, Kudos, etc. People keep telling there managers recommended them for these awards.
My manager doesn't interact much with us. I consider myself as some one who has worked hard for project and other intiatives. Should I ask my manager to consider me and if yes how should I initiate it.
