I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE YELLED AT A GIRL LIKE THIS! ANTM lines aside, I am irate right now. SEETHING. I’m in a group for yogis. Discussing @mynameisjessamyn’s beautiful Cosmo layout. Iconic. She’s giving me effortless, melanin, aspirational yogi. Love it. A woman, a BLACK woman, proceeds to say that she is not healthy. Another said that she could lose some more weight if she did cardio 3 times a day (?), ate a healthier diet (??), and got better sleep (???). My bullshit alarm went HAYWIRE I asked if she had her blood work? I ask did she know her sleep schedule? I asked how does she know she’s not healthy??? I also said that we are yogis. We should be practicing NON VIOLENCE. AHIMSA. Particularly towards each other. Particularly towards BLACK WOMEN. Jessamyn is a world renowned yogi, I doubt she needs someone to stick up for her in my little corner of the internet. But there are fat yogis in your world who you should feel obligated to take up for. Anyone who is being harmed, but particularly our Black sisters, deserve protection. But when the violence comes from inside the house?!?!! I’m even more undone. The work to dismantle a lot of isms sizeism, racism, sexism, carried through in 2021, clearly. The movement didn’t end with your black square in June. We have work to do! It’s all or of, or none of us. That’s it. A Black woman can be having the best day of her life, and her body is still fodder for debate, ridicule, and criticism. I hate that. But as long as EYE am in the room, the table, the chairs, the freakin chandelier will continue to be shaken. Don’t get comfortable. ♀️ https://instagr.am/p/CJjywzuDIM0/ -- source link
