About this listen

 The oppressive standards of beauty in our culture aren't arbitrary; they are rooted in white supremacy dating back to the transatlantic slave trade. Drawing upon the work of sociologist Dr. Sabrina Strings, Fearing the Black Body: the Racial Origins of Fat Phobia, we'll explore how the magazine covers at the check-out stand aren't by chance, but have deep racial origins and consequences. Is it possible to change that? Sonya Renee Taylor offers a radical activist type of self-love. In her book, The Body Is Not An Apology, she says we can understand how we were indoctrinated with body shame. Once we do, we can start to shed our own body shame. But it doesn't stop there: once we do, we can use our bodies as tools to dismantle the oppressive structures of our society that put that shame there in the first place.
