My Black Body Podcast

Black stories are a vital part of Black healing. That Black healing is a vital part of the world’s healing. Our stories are medicine and contain technology often overlooked in spaces that have actively de-centered Black bodies and voices. My Black Body Podcast is a container to share and grow nourishment for our collective bodies, minds and spirits. ​ This podcast will serve as a living record. By centering Black stories told by Black people, we ensure that we play an integral role in preserving this moment in history for generations to come. We invite you to be a part of creating this historical record. By supporting this podcast, you can help decolonize narratives about and around Black bodies and facilitate their much needed healing.

    Lipedema: Vulnerability & Visibility

    This week Jessica and Rawiyah are joined by special guest  Brena Jean. Brena Jean is a queer, fat, Black, Lipedema advocate, storyteller, and writer. At 37 years old, she was diagnosed with Stage 4 Lipedema, a little-known, painful fat disorder that affects 11% of all AFAB folks. Post-diagnosis, she's pulled the veil back on her life and attempts to share her Lipedema story through a vulnerable perspective that interrogates how her intersections affect how she is perceived and what she has access to.
