Hola Comadres!

Not me dropping episodes like Beyoncé! Season 4 is well underway. Welcome to the 2nd episode of Season 4! We are continuing the season with another phenomenal guest in honor of Women’s History Month.

Let’s talk about raising body positive children!

Join your comadre Marcy and special guest Miriam Lara -Mejia aka La Gorda Feminista, anthropologist, traveler, mom, writer, body positive educator. She has currently been working towards body positive motherhood and body positive parenting.

From a very young age, she knew that diversity – not only bodily but in all aspects – was the most central thing to everything. Each person is different, each person is unique and there is a place for everyone. The comadres discuss fatphobia and how it shows up in our society, we also talk about how to empower our children to be body positive and practice radical self-love.
