The Size Standard: Finding Your Joy Point—Alaina Baldwin
The Size Standard: Finding your Joy Point follows the journey of a fat, black woman from girlhood to early adulthood as she navigates family trauma & abuse, early medicalization, diet culture & eating disorders, bullying, self-identity & body dysmorphia, dating & fetishization, friendship, grief and depression. She discovers joy in an unlikely source and wonders if joy can also be found in community—a community of fat women not seeking further medicalization but understanding, acceptance and care? What could transformative plus size wellness truly look like if it were centered around JOY and not simply weight-loss or the pursuit of thinness?
