#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!
