Description

In this Episode Asher catches up with their Best. Friend. Kiesha (it's a private joke) in what was meant to be a review of Jessica Wilson's amazing debut book "IT’S ALWAYS BEEN OURS: REWRITING THE HISTORY OF BLACK WOMEN'S BODIES". Not quite the intellectual analysis that they had planned, this is essentially a conversation between two good friends, one of whom has to navigate the world as a Black Fat Woman. Kiesha shares her own experience of her body and adds to the already rich conversation that Wilson shares in her book. If you enjoy this podcast and would like to support Asher so that they can continue making them, you can join them on Patreon.
