Fatphobia is defined as a pathological fear of fatness…

What do you think of when you see/hear the word “Fat?”
Who is affected by Fatphobia?

Do you have internalized Fatphobia?
What can we do to unpack it?

In this workshop we’ll explore + dismantle diet culture and fatphobia/weight stigma through an intersectional lens.

“Weight stigma in general refers to negative attitudes and behavior made towards fat people; attitudes and behavior that mean fat people are not able to participate in every day society the same way that thinner people are.” -Gillian Brown
