Fat Girls in Black Bodies by Joy Arlene Renee Cox with Angel Austin

Fat Girl Book Club

I don't think I knew when Angel Austin of Sacred Space for Black Bodies asked to read Fat Girls in Black Bodies by Dr Joy Cox that it would be such a perfect match, but Angel and this book go hand-in-hand. A big theme of this book is building community and Angel has incredible community building projects on the go, including mutual aid resources, a fat resource directory and sacred space, which is a vision of such proportions that you will have to listen to Angel's own words to understand how incredible it truly is. Other topics we covered in our chat include:

• How Angel got into fat liberation

• The creation of Sacred Space for Fat Bodies

• Dealing with trolls on the internet

• Weight stigma around health

• How this book connects to Angel's life

• Community - what it is and how we create it

Keep Reading Everyone!
