Listen to @SaStrings, author of FEARING THE BLACK BODY: The Racial Origins of Fat Phobia, unpack the racist roots of diet culture, and the continued racist implications of our society’s narrow definition of beauty
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, you may be trapped inside the clutches of diet culture. Listen to “Popaganda: The Feminist Guide to Escaping Diet Culture” here: bit.ly/39LYGKm
