As a new mom, I started writing to help process my struggles. Over the years, ​my writing evolved to explore the overlap of health, weight stigma, and self-acceptance.

 

Health is much more complex than our healthcare system and diet culture proclaim. It is nuanced, messy, and intertwined with fatphobia, ableism, racial inequities, and many other social justice issues.

 

I acknowledge as a white, straight, cis female, I have a privileged identity and cannot truly understand the complex experiences of those with marginalized identities.
