Have you ever been told you’re too fat to wear that?
Have you ever been given unsolicited weight loss advice from strangers?
Or have you ever felt judged for simply existing in a fat body?
Well then… ‘Faternise' is the place for you.
Fat activist and journalist Demi Lynch brings fat liberation to the forefront with her groundbreaking podcast, ‘Faternise.’ Every week Demi chats with people in the plus size community about the MANY frustrations, issues and taboos that comes with being FAT. In less than six months the podcast has taken over the plus size space - it’s become Australia’s go-to source for plus size storytelling. From fat sex, to seatbelt extenders on planes, to fatphobic reality shows - nothing is ever off limits at ‘Faternise.’
Now Demi is taking her popular podcast to Melbourne Fashion Festival. Join Demi for her very first LIVE podcast show where she’ll be joined by model and entrepreneur Bedi Othow where they’ll discuss the many issues, taboos and frustrations that comes with being FAT.
