She dedicated herself to creating her own joy and began sharing that joy through social media.

Essential Strategies to Building & Exhibiting Neon with Light Artist Carissa Grace

I was so  fired up after this conversation!  Carissa and I dug deep into Lindy West’s Shrill and talked about all things hard.  Some of our conversation revolved around: •	Carissa’s self-love journey •       Internet trolls and how to handle them •       Whether or not we should give internet trolls leeway •       The importance of creating boundaries •       Curating your social media feed •       The harmful effects of thinly veiled fatphobia •       How fat people accommodate others and how they themselves are not accommodated •       The chair analogy •       The definition of health •       Our favorite and most frustrating parts of this book Carissa has an Instagram presence and because of that, this conversation is really relevant and lively.  What I loved about this book (and about Carissa) was that it is all about the activism.  It asks the question, “what are you fighting for?”.  Being an activist is rewarding and heartbreaking.  Lindy West gives us both sides of the coin in this amazing book and this conversation is not-to-be missed.
