Our very own Amanda Levitt (RBI mod and blogger at http://www.fatbodypolitics.com) was a part of this HuffPost LIVE segment: Fat Stigma Starts Young.
Other notable contributors include Jenn Levya (http://fatsmartandpretty.com) and Rebecca Golden (http://butterbabe.blogspot.com), who speak authentically and with immense knowledge while combating comments like “oh but racism isn’t a thing anymore” and “oh but you HAVE to lose weight to be healthy”.
I’m also super impressed with the host Alicia Menendez for keeping everyone on-topic and providing a space for such important discourse. Brilliant.
Seriously, WATCH IT.
Hey! I did this yesterday. Jenn and I did really well considering we were the only fat activists on.
You did really great! I only cringed at the other folks on the panel a couple times, so that’s overall a lot better than how a lot of these roundtables usually go. :D

Aiya Van Kooten everyone
When Aiya Van Kooten stood face-to-face with a burglar in her bedroom, her left eye twitched, then she went into “predator mode”.
“I screamed at him… jumped off my chair, leaped over my bed and sprinted after him down the stairs,” she said.

This is the best story of my life
“Although she was the only one home, Van Kooten said she had no regard for her safety – instead, she said she was just overwhelmed with “rage“….. ummmmm Hero!!!
Haha, badass Muslim woman. Love it!!!
This lady is so awesome. She lives with her grandma and was studying and had a towel on her head and no shoes but she chased them out of her garden, kicked one up the arse as he climbed a fence, they dropped a camera and laptop, she flagged down a passing driver to help her continue the pursuit, and they finally caught one of them in a park and pinned him as the police arrived. Now she’s going to visit the burglar in prison for the next few months to help with his rehabilitation.
So in summary:
This lady doesn’t just defend her home and loved ones, she will hunt you down, team up with other skilled individuals, get you put away, and then teach you the consequences of your actions until you’re a valuable member of society once more.
Seriously she’s a frigging superhero.
literal hero
