20220908 Fat Liberation – An Immersive Learning Session

20220908 Fat Liberation – An Immersive Learning Session Originally Aired September 8, 2022, on ACB Media 5   Listeners joined Anthony Corona and Destiny DiMatteio of BPI as they welcomed Jackie Maris who will lead this important discussion and facilitate the immersive learning experience. We seek to understand fat liberation as a movement (different than body positivity, self-love, body-neutrality, etc.); reshape assumptions about fatness (myth busters); draw connections between fat liberation and other movements (intersectional approach for solidarity) - LGBTQ and disability justice movements; understand that fat oppression is part of Black genocide (Da’Shaun’s thesis) and that anti-Blackness is part of fat oppression; find ways to apply our conversation to daily work e.g. photos of folks of all sizes on our movement’s websites. Beyond our daily work, how does diet culture and weight stigma show up in relationships with each other? We look forward to Breaking the myths and opening the conversation of fat liberation.
