This is a huge deal, you see… On the heels of actresses claiming to be the first in a romantic comedy, where brands are still struggling to cater to the full plus size ranges, and when finding fashionable size 3X clothing still proves challenging, Erica Watson is on a mission to give visibility to the plus size woman, in her own way, on her own platforms- even if she has to create it for herself.
So… Just Who is Erica Watson?
Born and raised on the south side of Chicago, Erica received her BA in Film Directing and MA in Arts, Entertainment & Media Management from Columbia College Chicago. Earlier this year, Erica played “Miss Tiny” on Showtime’s “The Chi” and “Ruth” on Fox’s “Empire.”
How cool is this?
Not only is she adding quite the list of credits to her roster, Erica Watson is also a regular contributor on ABC7’S “Windy City Live” and WCIU’s “The Jam!”
And if that is not impressive enough, Erica rocks out with Avenue as the face of the holiday fashion campaign, called “Chill by Erica!”
The entire package is $100 and includes a free makeup bag. You can save 15% off the collection with discount code: ERICA15

What do you think of the beauty campaign?
Do you recognize and have you seen Erica’s work? We appreciate her fight for visible inclusion and are so geeked to see the “Fat Bitch” standup comedian expand her credits, projects, and campaigns. If all of this has happened in 2018, we cannot wait to see what 2019 has in store for her!
Let us know what you think about the collection!
Wow, Smart and Funny! You go girl!
