Don’t Absorb Me, Bro: Beauty, Belonging & Boundaries

Who gets to feel beautiful—and what happens when marginalized men join a movement built by fat, Black women fighting to be seen? This talk dives into the messy, meaningful space where self-love, privilege, and intersectionality collide. With humor, honesty, and heart, it asks: Can we widen the mirror without erasing the original reflection? And how do we show up in solidarity without stealing the spotlight? A must-listen for anyone interested in authenticity, equity, and building deeper connection—with ourselves and each other.

Loved this discussion of a topic I hadn't thought of from this point of view. My trans niece and I exchange loving words about accepting and enjoying our flesh that carries around our souls. TY for posting this.

Thank you for sharing this very important lesson.
