Being comfortable with our bodies and accepting others
Listen 00:48:43Guests: Elizabeth Wellington, Amy Farrell and Solomon Jones
At 33, Serena Williams is at the top of her game and considered to be one of the best female athletes in history. But recently she became the victim of body-shaming, with people insulting her muscular, athletic physique. If haters are going after her, what about the rest of us muffin-topped, spare-tired people? Why can’t we just all just be comfortable with our bodies? And why do we have to be so critical of others? Today on Radio Times, we’re talking about body image and body shaming with Philadelphia Inquirer fashion writer ELIZABETH WELLINGTON, Dickinson professor AMY FARRELL and Daily News columnist and Newsworks.org blogger SOLOMON JONES.
