“Ultimately, body liberation is about freeing yourself from the commodification of your body, rejecting the use of your body as a tool of capitalism, and claiming your freedom. It’s about abandoning colonized ideas of acceptability and reclaiming the freedom to live your life on your terms and use your body as a vehicle for your pleasure and exploration of the world.” HealthLiberationWellnessDecolonization Book:Decolonizing Wellness Source: Decolonizing Wellness
“Wanting to not feel anything in response to physical and mental beatdowns is a normal response to systemic oppression. When the pain is just too much, overeating leaves you feeling sedated. This is a useful short-term coping mechanism. But the problem is the effect doesn’t last.” HealthEatingWellness Book:Decolonizing Wellness Source: Decolonizing Wellness
