#127: The Problems With Body Positivity - interview with Sassy Latte

I’m interviewing Sassy Latte, Body and Sex positive Feminist, about how the concept of “self-love” leaves out marginalized individuals, issues within body positivity and more. We chat about:

-How @sassy_latte came to be and thoughts on first discovering body positivity,

-How fusing the political with personal has been imperative to healing body dissatisfaction for Sassy, 

-The intersection of race and body image, 

-Why “self-love” neglects the trauma/experiences of marginalized bodies and how we can do better to make it more inclusive, 

-The problems with the body positivity movement and how it can discredit marginalized bodies,

-Is allyship even possible as a thin and/or white person?

-What it means to tokenize and how this is problematic for those in marginalized groups,

-Where white women (and particularly thin white women) can do better to support POC and other marginalized groups, 

Plus, so much more!
