Check out this amaaazing TED Talk by Jill Andrew (who we've had the pleasure to get to know through our Fat's How We Roll peer group!)!! Jill breaks down some of the ways fat bodies - especially black bodies - are impacted by discourses of fatphobia & health.
*TW for discussion of fatphobia, self-hate and some ableist language.
"Fat is just a description. Its not a prescription - and its certainly not an invitation for hate, for exclusion, for ridicule, for assaults against my body. And it sure as heck ain't an excuse to make judgments about my health or my morality."
