At NAAFA, we grapple with how much to talk to our community and to the media about Ozempic, as we do with many fat-related subjects. In this piece, NAAFA’s Executive Director, Tigress Osborn, shares thoughts on what we keep in mind when engaging with journalists about this subject and what reporters should be covering more of instead.
Each month, we feature educational resources in the NAAFA Newsletter to support our community in working to dismantle racism. Resources may include historical information, tools for personal reflection, or information about how to get involved and make change. Many of the resources we suggest will be introductory resources, and this information is never intended to be full coverage on the complex and nuanced topics that are chosen each month.
This month we invite you to join us in exploring resources about LGBTQIA+ Pride Month.
