This week we're bringing you a guest episode from our friends at Rebel Eater's Club (Apple Podcasts | Stitcher | Spotify). Host Virgie Tovar spoke with writer and activist Da'Shaun Harrison, tracing the roots of diet culture all the way back to slavery, talking about navigating the health care system as fat people of color, and exploring what it looks like to find love and community.
