How Fat. So? was born
In 2019, Pallavi was invited by Tithiya Sharma of Gather Around Sisters to host an event for plus size women. There she met Ameya and got connected. “ We met again a week later. I spoke to her about the idea of a podcast talking about fat liberation and she offered to help me. But I said – No, do it with me ”. And that’s how Fat. So? was born.
The inspiration behind the idea
In 2014, Pallavi read books and articles of Tess Holliday, Gurleen Khandpur, Virgie Tovar, Whitney Way Thore, Ragen Chastain, and Hanne Blank. This gave her a deeper understanding of the subject and helped in shifting her own mindset around being fat.
Challenges in the journey
The Fat. So? team has not faced any challenges in doing the podcast, except the fatphobia rooted in society and the approach towards it. “ The world does not take fat people into account and that is wrong, you are telling a whole section of the population that they do not deserve to exist.”, says Fat. So?
