HI There!
My name is Anna Chapman (she/they) I am a queer, super fat, fat activist, and community organizer. I am an artist, writer, and fat self-care coach. I have been building fat community through joyful movement, fashion, and care for over 10 years. I built fatselfcare.com for this community because I believe we need a place to heal, connect, and share information. Because of weight-stigma we are often left to our own devices for how to care for these fat bodies. The beauty of Fat Self-Care Club is that we get to ask questions, share tips and tricks and come together every month. I hope you will join this club, because your perspective and your voice are welcome, wanted, and honored here.
xoxo,
Anna Chapman
Whats included every month?
-
Club Check-in
We do a 60- min check-in where we meet and connect every month. This is a great time to set your intention for the month and to meet some new friends! Calls are recorded for those who are unable to attend virtually,
-
Joyful Session
Every Month we have a seated Joyful session with Anna or a special guest. This could be Joyful Movement, Crafts, Meditation, or a time to gather and share stories. All sessions are recorded and shared in the video library for those who cannot attend live. There is so much terrible news everyday, let’s practice joy anyway.
-
Fat Friend Chats
This is a really exciting call every month where we invite a Fat Icon from the community to share in a Q&A with Anna. We have had guests such as Saucey West and Tigress Osborn from NAAFA. The conversation gets made into a blog for fatselfcare.com but the recording is only shared within the club. So this is truly a VIP call.
MEET our MAY GUEST STAR!
Gwyn (she / Her)
@Gwynetho
Join us 5/23 from
6:00pm - 7:00pm PST
This Month we invite Gwyn Olmstead (She /Her) Is queer, a chef, food educator, Dragon Boat Captain, and an all-around wonderful human! Join us as we remind ourselves we can be trusted with food, and that we are the experts on our bodies. I appreciate the way Gwyn questions how capitalism and diet culture co-opt our hunger cues and make food good/bad and right/wrong which it isn’t. There is no such thing as “bad food”. We are so excited to have her as our guest this month!
