Fatphobia and Racism in Fashion and a Chat with Model Mahalia Handley

Hi friends!

In this week’s episode, we chat about that strawberry dress and the conversation it sparked around fatphobia. We reference this tweet by Rayne Fisher-Quann and quote Amanda Richards for InStyle magazine. 

We have a chat with model, activist and creative director Mahalia Handley about her journey into plus-size modeling and how she is speaking out against a fatphobic and racist industry (and making massive change while she’s at it). 

Jasmine recommends this Fashion Journal article by Isabelle Sacks about the infamous vulva sheet mask and Maggie recommends Vogue’s YouTube video with congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Our lovely jingle, editing and production is by India Raine. You can email us at [email protected], find us on Instagram at @cultureclubpod, or on our personal accounts at @jasmineeskye and @yemagz.

With love,

Jasmine and Maggie x
