Meet The Author & Founder: Alaina Baldwin

---

Alaina Baldwin is a 30-something woman hailing from Miami, Florida. A longtime lover of books, including those of the self-help genre, she never encountered one that directly addressed her experiences as both a black and fat woman. It was time for healing—she decided to write the book that she needed. Her first body of work, The Size Standard: Finding your Joy Point, came about after sharing some never-before-told truths during a conversation with a new friend. Initially she felt open and exposed sharing her struggles out loud, but those truths transformed into liberation. What would happen if she shared more and with a community of other fat women healing from identical issues? Joy! Alaina enjoys travel, a good giggle, reading, shopping, a beautiful sunset and a yummy meal. A true Florida girl, she currently resides alone in Orlando, Florida.
