It was very nice to share some time with @ashleysenja tonight on the chat. We talked about how she got started with photography, her time at Nikon, and what inspires her. Her cat Sir Theodore graced us with his majestic presence. We got into a really interesting conversation about fatness and how that plays in her work. That conversation spun into the perception of fat people in society and how there needs to be more empowerment for fat people so we can work towards dismantling the stigma. I talked a little bit about how I view the chat and what drives me to continue it and then we called it an evening. It was a very productive chat, thank you for hanging out with us.
