About

I am going to be gushing about this one for a long time!!!For this week's discussion I talked with Natalie Boero about Kimberly Dark's Fat, Pretty and Soon to Be Old.  Natalie wrote the article about me that was recently in Women Who Podcast Magazine and I asked her if she wanted to spend some time with me on this show.  If you've been in body liberation circles for a bit, you will recognize Natalie as the author of Killer Fat (which normally always gets a reference in most current body acceptance books), so needless to say I am a little excited she came on.  In our discussion we covered:Natalie's fat activist journey including the Padded Lilys, studying fat in academia and how feminism treats anti-fat workWhat fat activism could do betterNatalie's bad fat dayBeing fit and fatFat and pretty/Fat and old identitiesHow this book is a sociological memoirRadical cultural change comes from recognizing intersectionalitiesWhy changing structures is more important than calling out micro aggressionsFat people and airplanesThe impact of Shadow on a Tightrope on Natalie's storyBody positivity in relation to fat activismKeep reading everyone!LinksNatalie's TwitterNatalie's InstagramNatalie's San Jose State University PageKiller Fat: Media, Medicine and Morals in the American "Obesity Epidemic"The Oxford Handbook of the Sociology of Body and EmbodimentShow mentionsFlying While Fat FB PageThe Beauty Myth by Naomi WolfFat as a Feminist Issue by Susie OrbachDamaged Like Me by Kimberly DarkNatalie's Book RecommendationsShadow on a Tightrope edited by Lisa Schoenfielder and Barb WieserFearing the Black Body by Sabrina StringsFat Studies Reader edited by Esther Rothblum and Sondra SolovayHealth at Every Size by Lindo BaconBody Respect by Lindo BaconFat Activism by Charlotte CooperThe Body is Not an Apology by Sonya Renee TaylorFat Girl Book Club LinksYour Better Body Image ChecklistThe Better Body Image FB Group
