Black History Year

To Be Fat, Black, and Ugly In America with Da'Shaun Harrison (June 2023)

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

In many ways, the health and wellness industry is killing Black people. For our audacity to exist with melanated skin, we’ve historically endured subjugation, political and economic disenfranchisement, and centuries-long death. And it hasn’t stopped yet.

In June 2023, Jay talked about it with Da’Shaun L. Harrison for season 7 of BHY. Da’Shaun is a self-described Black, fat, trans, disabled, queer abolitionist, community organizer, writer, and editor at Scalawag magazine. Their award-winning book, Belly of the Beast: The Politics of Anti-Fatness as Anti-Blackness, explores desirability politics, gender, policing, and the fallacies of healthiness.
