4 Things That We Need to Stop Assuming About People & Their Bodies…
Society likes to generalise, we all know this. If a statement is made about one woman of colour, then this statement is obviously representative of all people of colour.

Sweeping statements are common in the mainstream and the … Continue reading 4 Things That We Need to Stop Assuming About People & Their Bodies…
Body Autonomy: Owning Our Bodies for the Greater Good…
As a fat woman, I am well-versed in having my body shamed and not receiving accurate representation of my body within the mainstream media - but I believe it true to say that all bodies suffer a lack of representation in the mainstream. A recent Guardian article reported that only 39% of girls in the UK and only … Continue reading Body Autonomy: Owning Our Bodies for the Greater Good…

Between the sheets with body positivity…

Fatsexual…
In the interest of full disclosure you need to know three things: I'm fat, I'm a lesbian and I love sex. Woah, too much? Too soon? Sorry about that - but for the purposes of this post I think it's better to get these things cleared up sooner rather than later. Besides, taboos? The world … Continue reading Fatsexual…
