Unpacking Fatphobia

We're ending season one of Unpacking Ethical by unpacking fatphobia and the harm of mainstream beauty standards with Celeste Brown.

“I think all unlearning fat phobia is about for me is being able to exist and be comfortable in your body and thank your body for what it's carried you through.”

On this week’s episode:

•Celeste opens up about navigating fatphobia as a Black woman.

•We discuss how every industry, from fashion to healthcare, is complicit in perpetuating the hate and violence toward fat bodies.

•Sharmon, Katie, and Celeste go in depth about fatphobia's link to anti-Black racism in America.

Join us as we make room for laughter and vulnerability during this final episode of Unpacking Ethical.
