  • You Have Such a Pretty Face: The Unplug Collection
    I’ve been following @theunplugcollective for the last year, and I’ve learned so much. @theunplugcollective is a platform for Black women and gender-expansive people to share stories about mental health and body discrimination. I sat down with CEO & Founder @amandaliztaylor and Head of PR @geminy.a to learn more about their mission, the work they’ve been doing, about the shortcomings in the Fashion and Medical Industries around larger bodies (specifically with BMI and mental health), and what they hope for the future.
    I would encourage you to follow @theunplugcollective for historical and mental health resources along with important information and personal stories.
    “I think people in bigger bodies are treated like purgatory. They’re treated like a transition that is waiting to happen. They’re treated with their body first, and not the fact that they’re human beings inside of them. Fatness has been so demonized that people cannot look past fatness. It’s fatness first, person second. And that is a problem.” - @amandaliztaylor
