You Are Not Your Size With Lindley Ashline, Body Liberation Activist

Mindful Miri Podcast

In this week's episode, we discuss issues of #race, #weight, and systems of #oppression with Lindley Ashline.
Other themes:
- Embracing our true selves
- #bodypositivity for larger bodies
- How systems are not built for all sizes
- #weightstigma as an offshoot of #racism
About Lindley Ashline:
Lindley Ashline creates photographs that celebrate the unique beauty of bodies that fall outside conventional "beauty" standards. She fights #weightstigma by giving #fat people a safe place to explore how their bodies look on camera and by increasing the representation of #fatbodies in photography, advertising, fine art and the world at large (pun intended?).
Lindley is also the creator of Body Liberation Stock (body-positive stock images for commercial use) and the Body Love Shop (a curated resource for body-friendly products and artwork). Find Lindley's work and get her free weekly Body Liberation Guide at http://bit.ly/bodyliberationguide.
