Fatphobic (ft. Amber J. Phillips & Da’Shaun L. Harrison)

<p>This week, jh and Tre’vell invite filmmaker <a href="https://www.amberabundance.com/">Amber J. Phillips</a>, and author <a href="https://dashaunharrison.com/">Da'Shaun L. Harrison</a> (<a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/670607/belly-of-the-beast-by-dashaun-harrison/">Belly of the Beast: The Politics of Anti-Fatness as Anti-Blackness</a>) to the show for a conversation about fatphobia (read: jh’s fatphobia). Regular listeners may recall jh’s response to an email calling him out for expressing satisfaction that his beard hid his “double chin”. The critique was that “double chin” was code for fat, and that jh’s fatphobia was showing. Amber and Da’Shaun were both given permission to drag jh, so that he, and FANTI listeners, can confront their own fatphobia, which is Anti-Black as well.
