So, letโs talk about itโฆ
What preconceived notions and biases have you experienced? Can we talk about it?
Very much needed topic! When feeling of discrimination because of your size and to seemingly think you are โlazyโ is a touchy subject. Itโs hard to prove unless taped or witnesses have the same perception and want to speak up. For me, I am the only oversized person in my office. Declined promotion, not given same opportunities. It really stinks!!
It is soooo frustrating and sad! I am so sorry love!
This is genuine activism on the part of a plus-size fashion brandโthatโs wonderful!
