What are your feelings about aging? Culture and community impact our values and how society functions. Take a moment to reflect on your views regarding youth and aging. Have these changed since you've gotten older? Share your thoughts! #fatwomenofcolor#fatliberation#aging
When Americans complain about how fat people existing means they have to pay more for our healthcare, it’s like....we...have...privatized health insurance in this country???? Like do you think all fat people are on Medicaid??
...There is NOTHING wrong with YOU. You are not alone. Many Black & Brown women of size are experiencing the same things. That is why community care, self-care, & mental health care are imperative. You CAN thrive, in spite of oppression. We are here to help you do it!!
