Becky Young is the Founder & Co-director of Anti Diet Riot Club CIC, a rebel community fighting body shame, fat phobia and diet culture. On a mission to help people accept their bodies and find freedom from diets ADRC hosts talks, educational and creative workshops, and creates safe spaces for people to share and learn from each other. From meeting with Sadiq Khan to hosting a body-positive festival in London and launching an online membership platform, they tackle the growing body image problem in the UK from an individual and collective level.
As well as a social entrepreneur, Becky is an organiser for EarthPercent, a climate charity as well as having over 10 years of experience as an event producer and promoter. Having studied History & Politics at Oxford University, Becky is passionate about political movements, feminism, sex positivity, play and social justice; topics which inform a lot of her work.
In this episode we discuss rediscovering your desires, pleasures and dreams; beating the algorithm to cultivate genuine community online; fighting for body justice whilst taking care of your own needs; the pressures the pandemic put on coupling with couples and the cross over between orgasms that come too quick and instant coffee.
