{Podcast Month} Escape Diet Prison with Anne-Sophie Reinhardt: Body Liberation Through Photography
✨ For the month of December, enjoy these podcast episodes while I slow down, take a breath and plan for next year. ✨
When I started my photography business in 2015, I had never seen or met another fat photographer. I wasn’t sure if it was even possible. (Because what we see around us tells us what is possible for people like us.) Now, of course, I know many fat photographers, both because I’ve deliberately sought out other people in underrepresented bodies, and because we fat folks are paving the way in our industries — but it was pretty intimidating not even knowing whether anyone would be willing to work with a photographer who was fat.
In my episode of Escape Diet Prison with Anne-Sophie Reinhardt @annesophiereinhardt, we look at this dynamic in detail, plus:
🦋 what it was like to grow up without a TV and how that influenced my body image
🦋 reclaiming the word fat for myself
🦋 being an average size kid and how my body changed during puberty
🦋 the time I went through the typical weight cycling that results from dieting
🦋 fat bodies, fashion and hiding your femininity
🦋 the urban myth of knowing someone who’s lost SO much weight and kept it off
🦋 my struggle with rejecting healthism and knowing that no body is “bad” because it doesn’t meet our culture’s standards of health
🦋 why it was such a big deal for me to learn about the social determinants of health
🦋 what we can learn from nature about our bodies and our roles on this planet
