They fill us in on everything they’re excited about for this year’s conference weekend (Sat. Nov. 1 and Sun.

Hi friends! Thanks for tuning in to another episode of Fat and Fucked! Dr. Krista and Suzy are joined by Patrilie Hernandez, founder of Embody Lib.

Hi, friends! In this episode, listen in as Dr. SexyFat and Suzy dig in with Grace Hamner, creator of the Plus Size Database. Grace, growing up as a member of the very conservative Church of Latter Day Saints (LDS or Mormonism), didn't develop the vocabulary to talk about the extreme pain in her vulva and vagina until after she married and had two children. Her journey to get a diagnosis of vulvodynia led her down a path of questioning everything; her marriage, her sexuality, her faith, and her agency in her own body. The Plus Size Database was created to give something back to the fat community, in the form of a large directory of businesses that cater to the needs of people in larger bodies. Grace started it for her own use and realized other people needed the resource, too. And she's right! Thanks for listening, and always, be fat, be fab and be free! Who loves ya, babes? WE DO.

Hello, friends! In this rich hour, Dr. Krista and Suzy are joined by the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance (NAAFA) executive director Tigress Osborn. Tigress gives us an amazing history lesson in the early days of the struggle for fat liberation which led to NAAFA's founding, an exploration of internalized fat bias, and the forever work of freeing ourselves from the insidious messaging of diet culture. Tigress shares her own journey to fat lib and the challenges of living out loud as a well-known fat black woman in the public eye. We had so much fun talking to Tigress, we had to break the episode into two parts. Keep an eye out for the next episode to part two of our interview with Osborn, where we dish about dating while fat, navigating relationships as an older femme, and play a fun game to get to know who Tigress is when she's off duty.
