ATLANTA, GA, UNITED STATES, October 15, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — The long-awaited feature film “Untold Secrets of a Plus Size Diva” premieres for one night only in Atlanta, Georgia, on October 16, 2024. Executive produced by Sylvia Wilson and Darlene Shuford, this 90-minute melodrama highlights the lives of eight successful, plus-sized women, affectionately called “The Divas,” who navigate love, relationships, sisterhood, and betrayal.
This emotionally charged film explores the realities of these women as they battle societal discrimination and personal struggles, from bullying and abuse to the pressure of conforming to beauty standards. Despite it all, Untold Secrets of a Plus Size Diva is a story of triumph, resilience, and self-love, reflecting Executive Producer Sylvia P. Wilson’s personal experiences and those of the incredible cast.
Darlene Shuford, co-executive producer, shared her passion for the project, stating, “Audiences can expect an emotionally charged journey through the struggles and triumphs of eight resilient women who have faced adversity in many forms, including bullying, abuse, and discrimination. Untold Secrets of a Plus Size Diva is a powerful testament to the strength of the human spirit, offering a story that will inspire and empower viewers to embrace their inner power.”
Shuford says, “This film is essential because it sheds light on issues many women face but often keep hidden—self-esteem battles, discrimination, and the overwhelming pressure to conform. My inspiration comes from the incredible women in my life and the challenges we’ve all overcome. I want people to know they are not alone, and they have the power to rise above it.”

Executive Producer Sylvia Wilson expressed her hopes for her film, “Untold Secrets of a Plus Size Diva, ” a deeply moving and empowering film that gives a voice to the untold stories of women who have been marginalized for too long. Audiences can expect to see a raw and authentic portrayal of eight plus-size women, each overcoming their battles, whether it’s bullying, size acceptance, discrimination, the glass ceiling, abuse, and the will to push past the barriers in their lives while finding their inner strength.”
She further states, “My inspiration for writing the script was to expose the challenges I faced as a plus-size woman. I had to fight my way through obstacles while dealing with low self-esteem, body image struggles, abuse, mental, physical, emotional, as well as spiritual and systemic barriers. This film is not just about surviving; it’s about thriving and reclaiming power. It’s important because it opens up a conversation about issues that affect millions but are rarely addressed in mainstream media, giving visibility to women whose stories deserve to be heard.”
