...About Fetishizing Fatness?

Do The Kids Know?

Transcript available here.

We follow up previous discussions we've had about fetishizing racialized identities (see Season 2, Episode 11: Boba Liberalism) to talk specifically about the fetishizing of fat bodies, why its problematic, and how to deconstruct some of our biases around fatness and shame.
------
Do The Kids Know? is a biweekly series of discussions between community workers and educators, Prakash and Kristen, that unpack race, media, popular culture, and politics in KKKanada (That’s Canada spelled with three K’s) from an anti-colonial perspective.
Our goal is to bring nuance to sensationalist media as well as to uncover the ways in which white supremacy, capitalism, and colonialism is shaping our movements and behaviours.
Keep tuning in to be a part of the conversation… don’t be a kid who doesn’t know!
