Introduction: Breathe beauty -- Part 1: "Live, laugh, love". It isn't diet culture, it's white supremacy -- Special aliens who can heal the world!: resilience -- "For our own good": respectability -- Too much, yet not enough: restriction -- Part 2: "Solutions": having a body is hard. Feeling good as hell: body toxicity -- Can we eat our way to liberation? -- Health is killing us -- Gooped, but not well -- Part 3: A new story. Rewriting the narrative -- Celebrating black joy.
A dietitian, storyteller, and community organizer offers a cultural discussion of body image, food, health and wellness by focusing on the bodies of Black women and how our culture's obsession with thin, white women reinforces racist ideas and ideals.
