Flesh 'N Bold

Can fatness 'N fitness occupy the same space? (Part 1)


Listen Later

Is fat a bad word? Should you say, "people of size," "living in larger bodies," or should we be reclaiming the word "fat" and wear it with pride? Can you be both fat & fit? Drs. Heard & Heard-Garris delve into fatness, fatphobia, and errythang in between. Be forewarned this is Part I of a Part II series, so you'll have wait for the second episode as they wrap it up just in time of Thanksgiving.
