Manage episode 408878622 series 3373823
We're diving into the intersection of body liberation, white supremacy, and dating with the incredible Jessica Wilson, MS. RD. As the author of "It's Always Been Ours: Rewriting the Story of Black Women's Bodies," Jessica brings her expertise as a dietitian, storyteller, and community organizer to the forefront. Together, Lily and Jessica explore the interplay between shrinking our bodies in response to white supremacy and shrinking our desires, unpacking how Black and Brown women can reclaim their body liberation and prioritize care in the dating world.
We get into:
- The interplay between shrinking our bodies in response to white supremacy and shrinking our desires
- Jessica’s view on how Black and Brown women can reclaim their body liberation and prioritize care in the process of putting themselves out there in dating
- “Your body is not the problem,”
- Spaces to seek out body liberation support and community
- How do we set boundaries for those, not on the same page or path with body liberation?
- Jessica’s favorite moment of Black Joy since writing her book
