Overcoming Childhood Abuse | The Truth About Cashless Bail | & More w/ IL State Sen. Lakesia Collins

As much as I love art and culture, fashion and beauty, I’m also a fan of politics and politicians whose platforms center and elevate the human condition. Today's @fullbodyfrequency guest has gone from Certified Nursing Assistant to the Illinois General Assembly representing the 9th district. And while folks say that all politics are local, Lakesia Collins has made a national impact with her work on behalf of workers, including the Fight for $15, the movement that advocates for the $15 dollar per hour minimum wage. Between June and July of this year, she sponsored over 20 bills in the IL General Assembly while remaining on the frontline, fighting for the rights of workers and children. In addition to her work, Illinois State Senator Lakesia Collins's story of pushing past trauma and moving forward to the plus-size life she now lives is absolutely inspirational!

Fat, and Appropriately Vaxxed? Needle Size Matters!

Preventable Death: The Problematization of Fat People from Hurricane Katrina to the Coronavirus My guest today is Dr. Cat Pause. She is a Fat Studies Researcher and the host of the fat-positive radio show Friend of Marilyn. She and I talk about the ways in which fat people are blamed for health care system breakdowns and failures during natural disasters, and now, the Coronavirus Pandemic. We also talk about what plus-size people need to know before receiving our first, second or third COVID vaccination. Size matters, both our bodies and the size of the needles used. If you've begun the vaccination process or completed it, help create equitable health outcomes for the plus-size community by sharing your experience via the Covid Fat Vaccination Research Survey. It's quick, easy, painless, and you don't have to leave your home. Stay tuned to learn more, and don't forget to LIKE, COMMENT, SUBSCRIBE AND SHARE! ABOUT: DR.
