What does it mean to carry the weight of representation as a fat, Black traveler on the global stage? In this episode of Big Sexy Chat, Chrystal and Merf sit down with Jeff Jenkins, award-winning travel and food personality, speaker, podcast host, and creator of Chubby Diaries. Jeff is also the former host of Never Say Never with Jeff Jenkins on National Geographic, where he brought inclusive, joyful storytelling to audiences worldwide

We dive into:

• Jeff’s journey from personal travel diaries to global advocacy for fat travelers.
• The realities of airline seats, resort furniture, and clothing access - and the small fixes that make a world of difference.
• How representation in media and tourism changes not just experiences, but lives.
• Jeff’s philosophy on confidence, self-acceptance, and finding joy outside your comfort zone.
• What’s next: new projects, a documentary in the works, and his mission to humanize fat people worldwide.

This conversation is about more than travel; it’s about visibility, belonging, and the power of living fully in your body, wherever you are.
