From Backyard Beginnings to Growing Community *

I Slay started with two sisters who loved fashion, shopping, and—most of all—swapping clothes. After struggling to find inclusive spaces at thrift stores and swaps, they realized that plus-size people deserved a place of their own. In February 2024, the first I Slay Clothing Swap was held in founder Christabell Nunez’s backyard. What began with 20 people and a Kia Soul packed to the brim quickly grew. One Instagram post later, Dr. Syd Young of OutWellness offered a home for the swap—and the rest is history. Now, nearly a year later, I Slay hosts over 150 attendees each month and has become the go-to event for plus-size women, femme-identifying, trans, and non-binary folks to swap fashion, build community, and slay.
