Fattylympics


Hello!!

Wow, so many people have viewed my blog today, and hello to my new followers J

Just wanted to talk a little about a very important event coming up in a couple weeks- the fabulous Fattylympics!

Fattylympics is something I came across via Twitter, so I’m going to do the same: Fattylympics

I think it’s such an amazing cause and I can’t wait to get there and meet everyone. People like “us” need a platform, even if it’s just for a day, to feel like we can have a voice that is heard. We have the media telling us what we should look like, what ethnicity we should be, what size we should be to be deemed desirable, what clothes we should wear……..it’s insanely frustrating!

On their blog page, they have a wonderful interview that anyone can fill out, and I really had a good think about my answers before submitting. It’s important to portray what you really feel about something you believe in, and I didn’t want to let myself down and not say everything that needed to be said.

Everyone needs to know about this event and I feel very happy to be a small part of it- here is the link: Fattylympian-Isha

I would really encourage you to take part in this- even if you’re not going, you still have a platform to express what you feel without being judged, and that is exactly what Fattylympics is all about.


‘Til next time folks.

Don't get me wrong, I think it's great to have ambition and to work and strive for a goal or goals, but I also think it's important to be realistic with those goals. There are so many factors that come into trying to make a blog a business. For example, bloggers whom have been able to make their blog their sole source of income are often white, slim/ slim passing, a small fat, able-bodied, cis gendered, and/ or with euro-centric beauty. There are of course other examples that correlate, but that's the starting point. Not every blogger is going to fall into that blueprint, nor should we, but unfortunately we have not yet reached a point where said…
