Maple Reads🍁🇨🇦 📖 Fearing the Black Body: The Racial Origins of Fat Phobia 🖊️ Sabrina Strings This book really stayed with me. It breaks down how anti-Black racism shaped the beauty standards we still live with today and how fatphobia is deeply tied to that history. I’ve always known I was a baddie, but reading this? It just confirmed it. It made me love myself even more as a Black woman and let go of standards that were never made for us in the first place. Honestly, it’s an incredible historical read for everyone. Once you understand where beauty standards actually come from, you realize they don’t even hold the power we think😎 🎽 @adidas 💄 @fentybeauty 👂🏽 @aldo_shoes 📚✨mapleandmelanin readblack bookrec
