Welcome to the NAAFA Community Voices Blog!
Under the guidance of editor Samantha Puc and the NAAFA Board of Directors, the Community Voices Blog features writing from members of the fat community and our allies, especially those who are also disabled, LGBTQIA2S+, People of Color, and superfat/infinifat. We prioritize pieces that approach fat liberation and fat rights through an intersectional lens and seek to feature a diverse array of voices on fat experiences, cultural critiques of fatness in media, and more.
Additionally, we spotlight fat changemakers and provide resource guides and other tools for our community to engage in combating anti-fatness, advocating for fat rights, creating anti-racist approaches to fat liberation, and supporting systematically excluded communities.
The NAAFA Community Voices Blog seeks to cover all aspects of the fat experience, which often includes difficult subject matter. Although we do not accept pro-diet or pro-weight loss content for the blog, some posts may discuss diet culture and weight loss within the context of fat acceptance and liberation. Individual posts will include more specific content warnings.
