In this episode of *Therapy in the Diaspora: A Diaspora Therapy Group Podcast*, host Annissa, AMFT (She/They), is joined by guest Tanya Marwaha, MHC-LP, a New York-based clinician, to unpack the insidious roots of fatphobia in white supremacy. Together, they explore how anti-fat bias shapes self-perception, limits access to care, and fuels disordered eating—particularly within marginalized communities. This conversation sheds light on the systemic and personal consequences of weight stigma while offering a compassionate, decolonized perspective on healing body image and reclaiming self-worth. Tune in for a powerful discussion that challenges the status quo and affirms that all bodies are deserving of care, dignity, and respect.
