“Fat liberation is the deliberate tearing down of systems that have created a world where fat people are denied full participation in society and life.” Mx. Pucks A'Plenty

What is the connection between burlesque and fat liberation? How is fat liberation different and more more radical than body positivity? How are fat folks organizing and using activism to create a world without systems that deny fat people full participation in society?

In Episode 9 of When We’re Not Hustling, host Jessie Sage sits down with the #17 top most influential burlesque performers of 2023, Fat Con founder, and fat liberation activist Mx. Pucks A’Plenty to answer all your questions about fat liberation and activism. Pucks and Jessie have a far reaching conversation about the Black queer foundation of the body positivity movement, medical mistreatment of fat humans, the cultural acceptance of fatphobia, the creation of Fat Con, and so much more.

Jessie and Pucks break down the ways in which fat liberation seeks to improve the lives of fat humans and break down systemic prejudice and barriers.
