Redefining Self-Love: Embracing Marginalized Bodies with Erica Sosa
By embracing the parts of ourselves that we're told to hide, the parts that we are told to be ashamed of, we are practicing self-love and we are telling others how to love us.
Picture the typical romantic lead in a movie. Chances are, you're imagining someone slim, possibly racially ambiguous, and cisgender. Now, what if that image included fat, Black, Brown, or queer individuals? In this thought-provoking episode of 'A Stripper's Guide', co-host Erica Sosa challenges these narrow societal norms and encourages listeners to embrace their true selves. As a fat Latina sex worker and body justice educator, Erica knows firsthand the struggles marginalized bodies face.
She talks about how society often overlooks, sexualizes, or misunderstands these bodies and shares her journey of turning moments of shame into acts of self-love. Erica passionately discusses the importance of breaking down patriarchal views on love and relationships. By creating new mirrors that reflect our true selves, we can foster a more inclusive world. This episode is a heartfelt call to embrace every part of ourselves and resist harmful societal pressures.
