Listen Later

Today we are joined by social media influencer and fat activist, Megan Ixim. Megan is an all-around content creator focusing on body/s3x positivity, plus-size fashion, and women’s empowerment. After pursuing an education in marketing/brand development, Megan decided to put her degree to use by developing a platform that benefitted from creativity, honesty and social awareness. 
Megan believes in the power of social media to bring people together and use my passion to create organic brand development both personally and professionally. She continues to use her platform as a sounding board to cover topics most important to these core values. Megan’s work focuses on combining passion with accountability, and throwing in some stellar visuals as a bonus!
This episode we discuss: what is a “fat activist”; eating disorders and diet culture; how do we learn to accept our bodies; how to deal with internet hate and trolls; tips on how to crush a photoshoot; social media’s impact on beauty standards; some changes in body inclusivity and beauty standards we hope to see in mainstream media; and LOTS more!
Trigger warning: this episode we talk about Eating Disorders (ED) and have included some helpful resources at the end of the episode for those who may need them. 
As always, thank you for listening! Have a wonderful week and happy wh0re-ing! 💋
