Fat Liberation Month August 2022Welcome my co-host, Merf. Our fab correspondent Sydney and the always fantastic, Tigress Osborn is our guest. (Tigress is the chair of NAAFA.org - The National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance.)  

Minute 1:39 Merf’s reply to the question “What does Fat Liberation Mean to You?” Merf mentioned that she is grateful for the diversity, it has improved her worldview, and opened her mind to beauty and culture that she may not have been exposed to her without the Fat Liberation Movement. Merf feels like the Fat Acceptance Movement has improved her mental health, physical health, and her entire life.  She struggled as a child and young adult to like her body.

So fat liberation for me now is more about making sure that I carry on one, the legacy of the women that brought me up, and two, that I make sure that that translates and, and pushes through for all of the other fat bodies that are, uh, feeling marginalized. Cause I refuse to carry this on forever. There's no need for any of us to feel marginalized in our bodies because of our bodies.
Minute: 5:15  Chrystal (me) mentions the book "Fat Girls in Black Bodies" by Dr. Joy Cox. We highly recommend it!
Minute: 6:30  Tigress begins to tell us about NAAFA.org.
Tigress is the National Chair for the NAAFA.org and spends her days (and nights) educating and promoting Fat Liberation. Tigress has a goal to help NAAFA.org to become more intersectional going forward.
Minute: 9:09 Fat Underground / Fat Liberation Manifesto (linked)  And, NAAFA.ORG has some of the histories of the Fat Liberation Movement here. Tigress discusses equity and equality. She mentions that she (we) needs MORE space sometimes or a larger chair and other accommodations and that should be
