Opening Pandora's Box of Body Shame

Tune in to a very cathartic conversation on body shame in South Asia and beyond. Jesselina and Anahita open up about their journey with body image issues, PCOS, and how their childhood has shaped some of their most important mental battles. From learning to accept and love yourself to understanding the realities of colonialism, class, and gender on what we eat, how we eat, and how it builds our bodies and minds.
