Kim Guerra is a queer woman of color who is a writer, advocate, and entrepreneur. She is the creator of “Badass x Bonita”, a brand and movement that she considers to be a work of self-love and her love for her community. She wants each person to wear “Badass x Bonita” products as a statement and shield-- a living revolution. Guerra is the author of “Mariposa” and “Mija”: collections of bilingual poems, affirmations, and revolutionary love letters. “Badass x Bonita” is for all humans who are giving themselves and their community wings through revolutionary love.  Guerra is a TEDx Speaker and received the “Agent of Change'' award from Univision’s Premios Juventud and has been recognized for her work in various publications including Oprah Magazine, Today, People, Huffington Post, Buzzfeed, Univision, Televisa, Remezcla, R29Somos, and FiercebyMitu.

In this episode, Kim shares her experience coming out and her healing journey that led to the creation of Badass x Bonita. Kim talked about the importance of respecting and loving yourself unapologetic and setting boundaries. It was an honor to share the space with such a badass chingona like Kim. She is an amazing and beautiful person who has helped me in my own queer journey and healing. I'm for ever grateful to Kim for shining light, esperanza, y fortaleza en mi vida. Her work inspires me to continue to dismantle diet culture and the name behind my podcast of f*ck being calladita.

Trigger Warning!!I

In today’s episode, I’m sharing my diet culture story. I have to confess that this is perhaps a heavy episode for anyone who has experienced sexual abuse and rape. I was not expecting to be vulnerable and share what I did. I hope that you can feel seen by my story and know that you are not alone.

I referenced feminist standpoint theory as an important framework to situate my lived experience as a site of production of knowledge and in challenging diet culture that far too long silenced my voice. My experiences matters. Your story matters. You matter.

In Borderlands/La Frontera, Gloria Anzaldúa, a Chicana feminist, theorized about la facultad, a deeper level of understanding that one can achieve by deep self-reflection and digging and unearthing below the surface. La facultad is a tool that individuals with marginalized identities can use to challenge oppressive narratives they have been brought up with and internalized. I used this concept as I shared my story and integrate it in my anti-diet work. 

Equally important is the concept of nepantla, this in-between space of fluidity, contradiction, messiness, and ambiguity. I use nepantla in my story to describe how I navigated visibility and invisibility and made sense of the different forms of oppression and trauma I experienced as a child and teenager. I am a nepantlera who is constantly in between spaces, always in transition.

There's a common saying in Spanish "no soy monedita de oro para caerle bien a todos" which in English approximates the well known saying "I'm not everyone's cup of tea." While I hope that everyone enjoys listening to this podcast the reality is that it might not be for everyone. The way I show up in this podcast reflects my intersecting identities and my voice and this includes using F bombs and a few Spanish slag and bad words. I want to speak the way I would speak to a friend, comadre, colleague, hermana, etc without filter. I encourage you to stay and listen to the episodes but if you decide to leave you are welcome to come back at any time. Aqui voy a estar:=)
