Send us a Text Message.

Ever wondered what it takes to challenge societal norms and gain recognition for advocating fat acceptance? Meet Tigress Osborn, the Executive Director of NAAFA, who has recently made it to Time Magazine's prestigious Health 100 list. Join us for an invigorating conversation as Tigress shares her personal journey in combating size discrimination, the thrill of being spotlighted in Time, and the vital role of fat-positive language in mainstream media.

Our deep dive into the pervasive impact of size discrimination uncovers heartfelt anecdotes from Tigress and other fat activists. From microaggressions in everyday settings to the importance of representation and allyship, we discuss the social barriers that fat individuals face and the collective efforts needed to dismantle these biases. Hear about the photo shoot that brought the community together and the significance of allies in amplifying the voices of those affected by size discrimination.

In our final segments, we celebrate the strides made in body size representation and systemic change. Learn about Pinterest's innovative initiatives for inclusivity, the success of NAAFA's fundraising campaigns, and advocacy efforts in legislation and healthcare. Merf joins us for closing remarks filled with personal stories and empowering messages, emphasizing the importance of uplifting language.
