Join the Fat Forward Book Club for a heartfelt discussion on intuitive eating and body positivity within the LGBT+ community. We'll dive into how society's standards affect our relationship with food and body image, share personal experiences, and explore ways to nurture a healthier mindset. Whether you're a bookworm or looking to learn more about intuitive eating and eating disorders, this event welcomes everyone to an open and supportive space. Let's come together to break stigmas and foster self-acceptance in a judgment-free environment.
Up next, "Thick" by Tressie McMillan Cottom: In her acclaimed collection of eight essays, Tressie McMillan Cottom combines personal experiences with critical analysis on themes like beauty, media, and money. Celebrated for her bold, "thick" presence—embracing complexity over simplicity—she explores societal issues such as racism, misogyny, and survival strategies for black women with insightful and witty prose. Praised by critics and peers like Roxane Gay for her transgressive and brilliant work, McMillan Cottom redefines the personal essay, tackling diverse subjects from pop culture to serious social issues, establishing herself as a leading public intellectual.
