Fearing the Black Body

The historical connections between race and body image are complex and often overlooked. I'm curious what motivated Sabrina Strings to delve into this topic and how she approached uncovering these roots.

The book connects past racial stereotypes to present-day fatphobia in a way that made me rethink what I thought I knew. Did others feel the same sense of revelation?

Knowing these origins feels like it could reshape activism and personal perspectives alike. I'm wondering how this historical lens influences current efforts for inclusivity.
