pickThis book is a great look at all sorts of issues from body image, to intimate partner abuse, the Princess lie, the invisibility of black women, “fat” people with eating disorders, and even sex. It was funny and lighthearted, but didn‘t hold any punches when it came to these heavy topics. It was refreshingly real and honest (even about the downsides of a vegan diet). 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
GingerAntics She covered food deserts and the shockingly low standards of American food. She talked about double standards for women and how those double standards are more like triple standards for black women. She even got into show business and plastic surgery. This woman knows what she‘s talking about, but doesn‘t rub your face in it. Her tone is exactly what you want for such serious topics all together. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 (edited) 4y
GingerAntics I seriously hope I can see her stand up the next time she can actually do gigs. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 4y
GingerAntics My only real complaint is that after all the self love, body positivity, she talked about how she‘s found her equilibrium on the scale and in life, summing it up with “I‘m not gross. I‘m not perfect either.” So suddenly fat is “gross” and skinny is “perfect.” 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 4y
GingerAntics Maybe I misunderstood, but this seems to throw body positivity, self love, and self acceptance (the messages of this book) right out of the window. Still totally worth the read, but avoid that bit. #ChloeHilliard #FckYourDiet #audiobook (edited) 4y
