Whitney Thore Biography

Whitney Way Thore rose to prominence with her dance video "A Fat Girl Dancing" on 107.5 KZL's YouTube channel. The video served as a platform to disseminate her message of body acceptance and positive body image. This viral success led to her former role as the on-air producer for the radio show Jared & Katie in the Morning on 107.5 KZL in Greensboro, North Carolina. Her influence in the realm of media further expanded with features on ABC News, NBC's Today Show, and The Huffington Post.

Thore's television career took off with the reality show "My Big Fat Fabulous Life," which airs on TLC. The show, currently in its 12th season, showcases her life, dance career, and personal health journey. Thore's candidness and authenticity on the show have resonated with viewers, contributing to its longevity and success. In addition to her work in television, she has also penned a memoir titled "I Do It with the Lights On: And 10 More Discoveries on the Road to a Blissfully Shame-Free Life," released in May 2016.

Continuing her advocacy for body positivity and self-love, Thore founded the No Body Shame Campaign and NoBSactive, an online fitness program. Both initiatives aim to help individuals live free of shame and promote body positivity, strength, stamina, and confidence. Through these endeavors, Thore continues to inspire and encourage sustainable positive changes in both herself and others.
