FATT Chat #1: Tigress Osborn
Hi! I’m Bree (they/she), and I’m so stoked to welcome you to the first of many FATT Chats! FATT is an acronym for Fat Acceptance Tales & Techniques, which is the very intention for this series. My hope is to create fat visibility with first-person fat liberation stories, as well as foster fat acceptance in others by sharing fat positive resources and strategies. In FATT Chats, you’ll find interviews with NAAFA members and non-members alike who will share their personal stories of fat acceptance and the real life techniques that have and continue to help them in their own lives. You’ll also find an easy-access list of all resources and techniques mentioned at the end of each interview, building upon each list with every interview to create a living grab bag of fat acceptance support. With that, I’d like to let each interviewee speak for themselves, so please enjoy the very first FATT Chat featuring NAAFA Board Chair, Tigress Osborn!
