A world that centers community, right relationship, and humanity shouldn’t be a radical concept, yet it is. Building this world will not happen overnight; it takes hard conversations to develop a path forward. With a focus on higher education, Doctora Nicole navigates nuanced topics with experts in their fields. When solutions center around equality, we still need to tip the scales of justice to a true balance. Through transparency and radical ideas, Doctora Nicole and her esteemed colleagues untangle the intricacies of today’s social climate while exploring possibilities for a better future.

Fatphobia
Today we are speaking with Yesenia Guadalupe on Fatphobia. Fatphobia is our society’s fear of being fat, which leads to the discrimination, isolation, and marginalization of fat people.
Join us a we dive deep into the origins of fatphobia, the difference between body positivity and fat liberation, and how capitalism benefits from our fear of fatness (hint: when we are divided, we are easier to control).
As always, our discussion is based in both lived experience and research. Here are some of the resources we mention in this episode:
- Fearing the Black Body: The Racial Origins of Fat Phobia by Sabrina Strings
- Moving Toward the Ugly: A Politic Beyond Desirability by Mia Mingus
- Everything You Know About Obesity is Wrong by Michael Hobbes
