Fat Girls in Black Bodies turns 5 this year! 🎉
It has been an absolute honor and privilege to talk about the issues of weight stigma through the lens of the Black femme experience.
I had no idea when I wrote the book it would make such an impact.
The work continues! ✊🏾

I’d be remiss if I didn’t share at least one song of the man who played such a pivotal role in my life. 6/25/2009 changed my life more than I expected.
Gone but definitely not forgotten. ❤️ #RIPMJ

Gotta sit this one out cause I was just a teenager with one house phone and wasn’t no way my mama was letting me put ANYTHING on that answering machine besides “thank you for calling, please leave a message after the beep.” 🤷🏾♀️😂

Back before text was the default, your outgoing vociemail/answering machine message was serious business.
It was your opportunity to tell people what kind of energy you were on. It was a statement.
For Day 23 of the #BlackMusicMonthChallenge, share the song for your answering machine background.
