Style blogger, activist and designer Gabi Gregg—aka GabiFresh—has debuted her latest swim collection in partnership with SwimsuitsForAll.com, and it is sexy, bold and inspirational at the same damn time!
As one of the first and most popular plus-size fashion bloggers, she is helping to usher in more size inclusivity within the fashion world all while promoting body positivity.
Her latest swimwear campaign, "Power of Survival" aims to highlight the undeniable confidence and poise Gabi is known for while also shining a light on powerful women of all shapes, sizes, and circumstances. The style mogul was inspired by the lives of everyday women who have overcome the odds and deservingly want to feel beautiful in their swimwear. Shot on location in Belize, the campaign also features Ericka Hart, the woman who went viral for posing topless as a queer breast cancer survivor, and Philomena Kwao, a plus-size model modeled alongside Ashley Graham on Sports Illustrated's 2016.
"This collection is inspired by powerful women and features bold designs, so I really wanted the campaign imagery to reflect that. Philomena [Kwao, model and activist] and Ericka [Hart, breast-cancer survivor] are both gorgeous with inspirational stories; they truly embody how I want my swimsuits to make people feel. I hope this campaign helps women realize they deserve to feel good about themselves in swimwear, regardless of size, shape, race or circumstance."
Say farewell to the awkwardness of trying on bathing suits that are neither sexy or flattering. Long gone are the days that curvy women are excluded from the by-the-pool slay.
Gabi Gregg has not only utilized her platform to create gorgeous swimwear designs for women sizes 10-26, she has also inspired us all with her powerful message. These images remind us that there is so much beauty in strength and that owning and loving our bodies is a superpower.
Women of all shapes and sizes deserve to wear leopard print bathing suits, lace-up grommet bikinis, and intricately cut swimwear in bold colors. Each suit fits up a size G/H, which includes full support for the girls. And with prices that max out at $150, you won't have to max out your credit card for the summer slay.
While many of us here on the east coast and around the country are literally under a deep-freeze, these smoking hot bathing suits have us ready to plan our next tropical getaway.
The "Power of Survival" collection is currently available on swimsuitsforall.com. We're preordering and packing our bags already!

“Your circle is everything,” Reginae shares with a smile, and she’s not wrong. She’s all about creating spaces where we can come together, let our hair down, and vibe with like-minded women. “We deserve spaces to meet, uplift, and vibe with each other. BLK is making that happen,” she adds.
A New Era for Friendships—Social Mode Is Here!
Gen Z is all about building meaningful connections, whether it’s with a date or a new brunch buddy. That’s why Social Mode is such a big deal. Research shows that 65% of Gen Z values friendships just as much as romantic relationships. With BLK’s new feature, users can easily toggle between “Dating” and “Social,” opening up a world of platonic connections—no swiping right required.

Reginae Carter Hosts the Ultimate Girls’ Night In—Powered by BLK Social Mode
What better way to show Social Mode in action than with an exclusive Girls’ Night In, hosted by Reginae? The event brought together top influencers, tastemakers, and press for a night of luxury, self-care, and real talk about love, sex, and relationships. From tarot readings to perfume-making and signature cocktails, the evening embodied the “soft life” vibe that many Black women are embracing in 2025—peaceful, intentional, and full of joy.
Guests mingled, laughed, and bonded over the importance of finding a tribe that supports you. It wasn’t just about fun (although there was plenty of that!)—it was about creating a circle of inspiring, strong women. “We need to stick together. We need to be each other’s village,” Reginae says, emphasizing the power of community over competition.
Sisterhood: The Real MVP
For Reginae, it’s all about friendship—and not just the surface-level kind. “We need friends who keep it real with us. The ones who can tell us when we’re right, when we’re wrong, and when we need to calm down,” she says. As someone who navigates the spotlight, she’s got the best of both worlds: friends who understand the grind and those who can give her an honest, grounded perspective.
Her advice for building strong, intentional friendships? “Be confident in yourself and know your worth,” she explains. “Also, hurt people hurt people, so make sure you’re coming from a good place when you’re building relationships. It’s not always about being nice—sometimes it’s about being real.”
Reginae couldn’t have summed it up better: “When you have the right circle, the right tribe, everything just feels easier. And that’s exactly what BLK is giving us—space to connect, laugh, and grow with each other.”
