"Let your body have and do and be what it needs to be and to be okay with that and to like eat what you want and move the ways that you want."
Have you ever questioned how society views and treats different body types? Caleb Luna, a multifaceted writer, activist, and performer, tackles this issue head-on with Nicole Antoinette on Real Talk Radio. Caleb, a Ph.D. student at UC Berkeley, brings a unique perspective by examining the intersections of fatness, desire, white supremacy, and colonialism through a queer of color lens. Their work is a deep dive into how societal norms shape our understanding of bodies and desire.
In this episode, Caleb unpacks the harmful impact of fatphobia on individuals and communities. They challenge the validity of the Body Mass Index (BMI) as a health measure and encourage listeners to interrogate their own desires and biases. Caleb's personal journey is equally compelling; they discuss their struggles with self-love and the importance of honesty and community in personal growth.
The conversation also touches on therapy, social justice, and representation, making it a rich resource for anyone interested in these critical issues. A fun rapid-fire question round with a Patreon community member wraps up the episode, adding a light-hearted touch to an otherwise profound discussion.
