51: The Death of Body Positivity with Jade Elouise


Listen Later

Today I'm talking to the brilliant Jade Elouise, fat liberationist and mental health practitioner. Jade explores body image through their art, writing and poetry, and is the co-founder of Fat Lib London, an inclusive community space for people in fat and otherwise marginalised bodies.

In this episode, we cover:

👉 The death of the body positivity movement - we talk about what attracted Jade to the BoPo movement in the first place, and discuss how it has been co-opted by capitalism and no longer represents a safe space for fat bodies

👉 The difference between body positivity and fat liberation and the intersections with other liberatory politics

👉 How Jade and their co-conspirators Simran and Niki are creating a safe and nurturing community for fat folks through Fat Lib London

👉 Plus, as always, what we're snacking on atm
