Disclaimer: I am not comparing fat shaming and skinny shaming. As stated in this episode (towards the end) they are on two completely different ends of the spectrum and those who are smaller are the beneficiaries. 

In my opinion, images and messages through music and the media have been projecting this idea that Black women must be thick. For me, this has been reinforced through familial encounters and colloquialisms. 

(I'm not throwing a pity party for myself, I just felt like this would be an interesting topic to address) :)
