Subtleties of Desirability with Sangeetha Thanapal - a podcast by SYN Media

Fatphobia, colourism&Lizzo.

In the Season 2 finale, Sangeetha and I discuss desirability. We talk about Lizzo’s infinite lung capacity, the importance of understanding fatphobia as structural oppression, why conversations about colourism barely go anywhere, the marriage market, Indian Matchmaking, the white-washing of the body positivity movement, skin lightening creams, the erasure of Brown skinned and South Asians from Asian narratives, racism in Singapore, health as a moral good, being dark skinned and plus-sized, who is elevated in activist and social justice spaces, Kanye West, and much more!Instagram: @thesubtletyofit | https://www.instagram.com/thesubtletyofit/

The Subtlety of It is recorded and produced on the stolen land of the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation. I would like to pay my respect to the Ancestors who protect this sacred land and live and speak through community members. I would like to also pay my respect to Elders and community members who are the ongoing custodians of this land and pass on knowledge of Country and the beauty of their cultures through generations. Sovereignty was never ceded. This land always was, always will be, Aboriginal land.The Subtlety of It is about seemingly small aspects of our identity which affect us in not so subtle ways. Let's unpack these things - consciously, openly and unapologetically. Hosted&created by Nana. Produced by Awura Abena and Nana.
