DESCRIPTION:To live in a body that is fat and Black is to exist at the margins of a 
 society that creates the conditions for anti-fatness as anti-Blackness. 
 Hyper-policed by state and society, passed over for housing and jobs, and 
 derided and misdiagnosed by medical professionals, fat Black people in the 
 United States are subject to socio-politically sanctioned discrimination, 
 abuse, condescension, and trauma. \n \nDa'Shaun Harrison-a fat, Black, 
 disabled, and nonbinary trans writer-offers an incisive, fresh, and precise 
 exploration of anti-fatness as anti-Blackness. They foreground the 
 state-sanctioned murders of fat Black men and trans and nonbinary masculine 
 people in historical analysis. From policing, disenfranchisement, to making 
 invisible fat Black men, trans, and nonbinary masculine people, these are 
 some of the most pervasive and insidious ways that anti-fat anti-Blackness 
 shows up in everyday life. \n \nIn Da-Shaun's writing and work they take on 
 desirability politics, the limitations of gender, the connection between 
 anti-fatness and the carceral system, as well as the incongruity of 
 "health" and "healthiness" for the Black fat, illustrating the myriad harms 
 of anti-fat anti-Blackness. They offer strategies for dismantling denial, 
 unlearning the cultural programming that tells us "bad," and destroying the 
 world as we know it, so Black fat people can inhabit a place not built on 
 their subjugation. \n\nJoin Da'Shaun as they have a conversation about 
 their latest book, Belly of the Beast: The Politics of Anti-Fatness as 
 Anti-Blackness, their life and work, and learn how we can all work to 
 dismantle our cultural programming and create real change.\n\nFree, 
 suggested donation of $10.\n
