Meet Mavis Beaumont. She's proudly thick, newly single and ready to take over the world as an aspiring stylist one fitting at a time. New York ain't ready but you are! Inspired by Michelle Buteau's hilarious memoir, Survival of the Thickest comes to Netflix July 13th.

Survival of the Thickest centers on Mavis Beaumont (Michelle Buteau). Black, plus-size and newly single (not by her choice!), Mavis unexpectedly finds herself having to rebuild her life as a struggling stylist.

The scripted comedy is based on Buteau's acclaimed book of essays.
