Break the Mirror and Create Your Own: Self Love for Marginalized Bodies

Erica Sosa Season 7 Episode 4

When you watch a rom-com or a sitcom, who do you normally see as the romantic lead? You’re probably picturing a slim, slightly curvy, probably white or racially ambiguous cis woman with everything “just right.” More than likely, your mind did not drift to someone fat, Black, Brown, or queer. So how do we combat this? By embracing everything society wants us to be ashamed of. This way, we practice revolutionary resistance to the patriarchal idea of who deserves love, softness, kindness, and respect. 

Check out Erica's blog, Revolutionary Hotness, which dives into removing shame from her relationship to her body and celebrating herself as a fat femme.  Also, find her on Instagram here!
