A clip from two years ago of Body X Blu Brittany With-The Brushes and Christina Garrett talking about the issues we face in plus size fashion and we are still seeing the erasure of plus size bodies and plus size fashion and fat phobia running rampant in the streets and it’s exhausting.

August is Fat Liberation Month 🙌🏽… what are you going to do this month to love your body a little more? Free yourself from societal beauty standards? Change your biases against fat people?

Fat is not a bad word! It’s time to let people be free in their own bodies

Professor Kimberle Williams Crenshaw coined the term intersectionality in 1989. It is the study of overlapping, or intersecting social identities and related systems of oppression, domination, or discrimination.

We are not just black or white, big or small… we are all of these things and more.. black, q***r, fat, woman etc.. and all these identities affect our experiences through life. Many times the media or our communities will only represent or acknowledge one of these identities, but we are so much more than that. Representation matters! It leads to better care, better understanding, and better communities.
TBRS is one of many platforms that is dedicated to being visual and audio representation of the many identities our communities make up. We hope you enjoy the things people share with us as they tell us a little about how their identities shape their experiences.

They are literally trying to make the plus size fashion industry disappear! We have to fight for our representation and start creating these spaces we want to see, because they clearly don’t want to include us in the space.

We are so excited to be back! We can’t wait to continue being a true visual representation of intersectionality. We all deserve to be seen, heard, and valued.

New videos and interviews dropping very soon!
