Anna Chapman
I hired the lovely and magnificent Anna Chapman to create videos for my fat clients. As a provider I sit with a gap in knowledge that impacts the efficacy of the care I offer because of my size privilege and access. Anna gently walks viewers through tips and strategies for how to care for your fat body. These videos need passcode access. If you are a provider with size privilege and want to offer these videos to your clients please email me for access, I am asking for donations to support Saucyé West's Fight For Inclusivity.

Nalgona Positivity Pride
Nalgona Positivity Pride (NPP) is an in-community eating disorders and body-positive organization dedicated in creating visibility and resources for Black, Indigenous, communities of color (BICC.) Since 2016, NPP has been raising awareness around the specific needs of BICC through digital media, education, grassroots eating disorders treatment models, and art. Rooted in Xicana indigenous feminism and DIY punx praxis, NPP emerged out of a great need not only to shed light on the experiences and barriers that exist in BICC affected by body-image and troubled eating but to create opportunities of healing by and for BICC.
