S2EP7 | Why Black Women's Bodies Are Often Imitated But Not Always Celebrated | Jessica Wilson

podcast December 31, 1969

In this episode of S2EP7, I'm talking with Jessica Wilson about her new book, It's Always Been Ours (Hachette, February 2023),. Jessica is a DIETITIAN. AUTHOR. COMMUNITY ORGANIZER, who is passionate about rewriting the stories about black women's bodies.

In this episode, we talk about how black women's bodies are defined by society, the problems with these definitions, and how we can start to change the way we think about bodies of black women. This is an important episode for anyone who wants to learn more about why black women's bodies are often imitated but not always celebrated.

About Jessica

As a registered dietitian specializing in eating disorders, Jessica Wilson believes that health is a social construct, a set of rules created that govern how to have the "right" body. The contemporary definition of a "good" or "healthy" body has been centuries in the making, but as Jessica Wilson writes in her forthcoming book, It's Always Been Ours (Hachette, February 2023), "the pure, moral, rule-abiding body has never, ever, been a Black woman's."
