FAT, BROWN AND DOWN IS UP AND RUNNING
hey y’all
so after an overwhelming response to the post on my personal blog navigatethestream calling all the fat brown people of the tumblrverse, i have create the blog “fat,brown and down”
this is an anti-oppression space where fat people of color can TALK about the intersectionality of race, gender, ability, class, religion, and sexual orientation with fat identity. a place where we can share submissions of topics someone wants to bring up, articles, quotes, essays, books, videos, methods of healing our bodies, loving ourselves and each other, providing support for each other.
this is not a fashion blog. this is not a place where you can get style tips or outfits of the day. this is a place, however, to talk about how the clothing industry discriminates against fat bodies, especially fat POC bodies that don’t always conform to eurocentric dimensions. {just an example of the kind of things we can talk about within this space}
this is a for POC by POC space. which means white people are welcome to read and actively listen but please read the page “how to be white in this space” to make sure you know what the deal is. this blog is not about you, and subsequently doesn’t center around your feelings, concerns, ect.
eventually i will be putting up a page of anti-oppression resources so people can read them and keep them in mind when discussing this within this space.
so with that being said
SIGNAL BOOST!!
