Your actions can.
💎
This piece is inspired by the dissonance of building a [fat] community to exist fully and navigating day to day life alone (not lonely) where the perception of fat bodies is starkly disconnected from the perceived shift towards inclusion that everyone claims has happened.
💎
It is inspired by the reality that supporting fat people never began with and definitely won’t end anti-fatness by following or liking a personal or educational post on any platform. There are real fat ppl behind every picture and post.
💎
It is inspired by the reality that some people feel more comfortable “supporting” fat people online than in real life situations.
💎
It is inspired by the moments where I am in a doctors office, obgyn appointment, or in a job interview and bias education has not reached them or made a difference and there is more harm perpetuated.
💎
It is inspired by the expectation that any fat person should be grateful for basic human decency, unchanged behavior and power dynamics disguised as inclusion and promises for the future.

My Fat Legs Take Me Places 🚀
🌊
Fat bodies exist in such magnificent abundant ways. My experience is only one way.
🌊
I often hear people say to appreciate everything our bodies do for us as a way of practicing self love.
🌊
Fatness is rarely celebrated for its softness, versatility, and the protection it offers.
🌊
Fatness disrupts ableism and harmful 🗑 assumptions about how [all] bodies are supposed to function .
🌊
My body reminds me to rest. To slow down when I need it. To lather it in affirmations. To be present with the different parts of myself (physically and emotionally) that make me, me.
🌊
My fat body is glorious.

❤️🔥 Come catch me at Love Letter to Fat People🫰🏼
Joanna (they/them) is a queer nonbinary fat femme creative. Their work through Amor a las Lonjitas aims to create space to connect on our collective experiences with diet culture, and explore the intersection of gender, size, class, race & other social identities. Their art embraces fatness as a decadent way of existing, empowering and inclusive of queer, trans and nonbinary people of color. They blend poetry and song, and draw to explore memories, share affirmations, and spread some heart balm to combat anti-fat bias.
This love letter brings you dreamy creatives that want to share their rituals and practices with you 🌻
