Join me and Hannah aka @lunchmeatprincess. She is a Digital Collage Artist who uses her larger body as part of her art, often with the intent of causing arousal.

We discuss:

Hannah’s experience of puberty and the feelings it brought.

Her discovery of feminism and feminist art 

The process in terms of starting to use her own body in her art.

The concept of ‘fat fetish’.

Hannah’s relationship with her own body and sexuality and how she brings it into her art.

She also gives advice to other people in larger bodies who want to express themselves more sexually.

Join me and the absolutely wonderful Dee (aka @bad_fatty) for a really insightful conversation about her ED recovery journey.
