Today on Plaid Skirts & Basic Black we talk to fat activist, Amanda Martinez Beck, author of Lovely: How I Learned to Embrace the Body God Gave Me and host of the Fat and Faithful podcast, & co-founder of Ruah Storytellers podcast. We talk about why Amanda calls herself a "fat activist;" the ways we have absorbed and enabled fat-shaming in our culture; the relational meaning of our bodies; and what it means to each of us to love our body as it was created by God.
We encourage everyone to have a healthy relationship with food, exercise, and their body. If you'd like more information about health at every size go to: https://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org/size-diversity-health-every-size
