Jen Arbo and I talked about the book (and movie) Dumplin' by Julie Murphy.  You may remember Jen from my discussions with some of the authors of Big: Stories About Life in Plus-Sized Bodies.  Jen and I really hit it off (I mean, both our names are Jen/n so obviously we were meant to be friends!) and she agreed to do another episode.  I really hope you enjoy our discussion.  We covered so much, including:Jen's Healthy at Every Size journeyThe importance of community and support to Jen's journeyJen's secret role modelsHow thin privilege shows up in Dumplin'The mother figure in Dumplin' - are we sympathetic or should we burn her at the stake for her fatphobia?What was Willowdean trying to say by signing up for the beauty pageant?Will there be any lasting effects to the four misfits signing up for the pageant?How fatphobia is like smoking or wearing a seatbeltWhy do we have "it could be worse" girls?Be the venn diagram not the pie chart!Book vs Movie - what is better?  (Duh! but still have to discuss)Keep reading everyone!Jen's LinksJen's FacebookJen's InstagramJen's TwitterJen's websiteNourish and Knives newsletterBook MentionsDumplin' by Julie MurphyBig: Stories about Life in Plus-Sized Bodies edited by Christina MyersFacebook Group Link
