Fearing the Black Body by Sabrina Strings with Patrilie Hernandez
Manage episode 298056657 series 2625030
My time on the Clubhouse app has been pretty non-existent the last few months. I just have a lot happening, but for the few months I did spend on it, I met some quality humans. This week, you are going to be hearing from one of them.
Patrilie Hernandez works on an institutional level to break diet culture and fat phobia. She has had 14 years of experience working in the health and nutrition sector where she combines her academic background in culinary arts, anthropology and nutrition/health, with her lived experience as a large-bodied, neuroatypical, queer multiracial femme of the Puerto Rican diaspora to disrupt the status quo of the local nutrition and wellness community and advocate for a weight-inclusive health paradigm in educational settings.
While our discussion about Fearing the Black Body by Sabrina Strings is academic, Patrilie is so thoughtful and passionate, you will start to put the pieces together around racism and fat phobia.
Our conversation was about:
- Patrilie's body liberation journey and The Great Unraveling of 2018
- What it means to embrace intersectionalities
- How Sabrina Strings teeter toters through art, literature, food, media and medicine to show us how we got to our current situation in terms of body ideals and white supremacy
- How slavery changed views about beauty
- Who creates our beauty ideals? Who was given a voice? Who was supporting the men's ideas?
- Sara Baartman
- Patrilie's internal dialogue around her anthropology degree
- American White Exceptionalism and the responsibility of white women
- Mass Immigration Movement and how it conditions people to keep thinness and whiteness as important ideals
- How racial science still exists today
- How medical science regulates bodies
- How weight became a health metric and how this ties into racism
- How healthcare is upholding white supremacy
Keep reading everyone!
