TheCurvycon was co-founded in 2015 by CeCe Olisa and Chαstity Garner Valentine, who raised seed money for the event by selling the clothes out of their closets. Now after four sold-out years, they are set to more than triple the size of the event. Tickets are on sale now, and are expected to sell out again.
