Fatphobia, body positivity and radical self-love.

“And I said to my body, softly, ‘I want to be your friend.’ It took a long breath. And replied, ‘I have been waiting my whole life for this.'" —Nayyirah Waheed

Might I suggest: Belly of the Beast by Da’Shaun Harrison? I haven’t read it yet, but it was heavily referenced in a recent video on “pretty privilege” that I haven’t stopped thinking about.

ETA: video link for “If Pretty is a Privilege, Ugly is a Curse”

I really needed this list today. Thank you so much for creating it. ❤️

I just put This Is Body Grief on hold at my library, and I'm sure that I'll be reading through plenty more.

I really love More Than a Body by Lexie and Lindsay Kite, if that fits with what you’re looking for! 🩷
