OOTD from Sunday. First time ever (self-)taking outfit photos in a public place.

Now, for some reason this outfit along with the sister dress in red/blue (seen here for example) has been receiving a really strong and partly nasty reaction from the public. People have been staring and glaring and I’ve caught entire groups of not only kids but also adults bursting into giggles when I’ve walked by. (Since I am also an adult, I’ve responded with making faces at them.) I dress loudly and eccentrically all the time so I’m used to weird looks, but this has actually been baffling, mostly because I don’t get why. It’s not such a weird outfit. Must have forgotten what it’s like to live outside of Tumblr!

Dress: Asos Curve (UK20)
Jacket: H&M+ (EU50)
Shoes: Converse

1 year ago today, I broke up with my abusive ex-partner. Today I am celebrating being me. I’m celebrating being in love with myself, being safe, whole, and well.

This week on Heartbeats: Jackie and Berlin! <3

Even though Jackie and me grew up in the same city, I became aware of her awesomeness on the internet after we both had moved away (thank u, tumblr). She has definitely been an inspiration for me as a fat woman of colour navigating whiteness and fat phobia, not just through solidarity, but also because she is unapologetically who she is which has been my biggest struggle, hence this blog project. Jackie is also a co-founder of It Gets Fatter, “a body positivity project started by fat queer people of colour, for fat people of colour!” I would highly recommend checking out their videos on Vimeo.

Joining Jackie on this crush-worthy post is her boyfriend, Berlin Reed. He is a chef who just published a really great book called The Ethical Butcher: How Thoughtful Eating Can Change Your World (it’s on Amazon if you can’t access a local shop.) His bio describes him as “a food warrior and radical food theorist bent on decolonizing cuisine.” SWOON. Catch him on tour right now!

On a very personal note: I can’t even tell you how special it was to photograph these two. I have never witnessed brown love like this, queer brown love. The experience made me want to keep searching for brown bodies to project out into the world. This is how we heal.

More photos and full interview on Heartbeats!

YOU GUYZZZZZZZZ LOOK AT THE PHOTOS THAT KAREN TOOK OF BERLIN AND I OH MY GOD I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!
