Amanda Gilliam is a super heavyweight masters weightlifter and the creator of Big Girl Barbell, a fat positive, body positive community for athletes and strength sports.

In this episode, Amanda and I discuss the connection between fat phobia and anti-Black racism. She also talks about how she  learned to reject the harmful messages sold to us in traditional health and wellness spaces, and why she considers herself to be fat positive.
