It’s time for a roundup! I (Brianne, #FatGirlFlowFam member) sat down with Corissa, to chat about the internet takeover of the “Fat Bitch” t-shirt. “When I designed the Fat Girl Flow merch with Ashley McCaskill. I didn’t know how it would go. I didn’t know if people would yell, ‘Yes, me too!’ when I talked …

*this post contains mention of fatphobia and fat hate When I was in 6th grade a beautiful boy kissed me in my neighbor’s backyard. He had a Bulls Starter Jacket and wore so much gel in his hair that it was crisp to the touch. When he tried to put his hand up my shirt …
I would not call myself a fashionista, and clothing definitely isn’t something that makes me wildly excited. But I am excited about the fat community, our determination, and the noise we are currently making, that is slowly but surely tearing down oppressive boundaries that society has set. So, I was pretty hyped to be at …
*I have received compensation and Monistat® product samples from Insight, but the statements made reflect my honest opinions, findings, beliefs, and/or experiences. It’s that time of year again!

My dearest bagel makers, I don’t need your weird marketing ploy to love you. You’re a bakery for Christ’s sake, your recipes involve things like cream cheese and frosting, your appeal is already solidified for me. But here we are, with another “clean eating” ad. See, you could have chosen to run ads that talk …
I know it’s hard to believe, but it’s damn near February y’all! While here in the US we certainly have much bigger things to think about than Valentine’s Day, I feel like all of us could use a little reminder that love does exist and that it’s important to celebrate that! Let’s love on our …
