Episode Summary

My discussion with Jenn Jackson about Unashamed by Leah Vernon

Episode Notes

Oh boy is this discussion juicy!  You remember my chat with Chavonne McClay about Savala Nolan's book Don't Let It Get You Down?  Well, my guest this week is Chavonne's cohost on their podcast, Embodiment for the Rest of Us.  Meet Jenn Jackson!  I am delighted to be chatting to her about Leah Vernon's book Unashamed and boy do we dig deeply into the meaning of that word!  We also talk about a bunch of other things, including:

• Jenn's body justice and fat liberation journey
• Discussing emodiment
• Playing the comparison game and finding the space of frictionlessness
• What does it mean to be unashamed?
• The difference between being unashamed and being vulnerable
• How Jenn relates to the word unashamed
• Leah's intersections
• Handling the binary
• How this is different than other autobiographies
• Why representation is important

Keep reading everyone!
