Fat Girls in Black Bodies: Creating Communities of Our Own

Fat Girls in Black Bodies is a groundbreaking book that tackles the complex intersection of fatphobia, racism, and misogynoir experienced by Black women.

Dr.

Joy Cox's razor-sharp cultural commentary exposes the root causes of these issues and offers practical solutions for reclaiming space and creating belonging in a hostile world.

Through personal history, community stories, and deep research, Fat Girls in Black Bodies breaks down the myths and stereotypes that have been perpetuated about race, body size, and health.

This book is a must-read for anyone looking to understand and dismantle the systemic barriers that prevent Black women from achieving true inclusivity and intersectionality in their fight for liberation.
