the skinny on white (body) supremacy
imagine a world where
we weren’t raised to
believe that only flat
(white) bellies were
beautiful
imagine a childhood when i
wasn’t constantly reminded
by the women around me to
suck my belly in
what if my dr hadn’t told me
while his hand was inside me
that I’d make his job easier
if I always stayed thin
what if i didn’t grow up
watching my mom hate
her own body and learning
to hate and fear my own
can you imagine not judging
your body every single time you
look in the mirror?
me neither
did you know that all the mind
fuckery we have about our
bodies is rooted in racism
and white (body) supremacy?
we have to do better.
🤝 our perfectionism is killing women of color, it's killing us and its killing our kids
👊 we have to educate ourselves on how our "ideal body" was born out of white supremacy
