Things No One Tells Fat Girls

We thoroughly enjoyed the bold, funny, and deeply personal writing by Jes Baker that confronts fatphobia head-on. Baker celebrates self-acceptance without apology (something we should all learn to do). Baker uses her powerful wit to blend memoir, social commentary, and humor to expose the everyday realities of living in a fat body. She teaches us to challenge the systems that profit from the shame those same systems created in the first place. It reminds us to focus on our own worth and remember we deserve to take up space.
