Today I share my conversation with EB Meerson, a high school teacher and founder of Maison de Meerson, a personal styling consulting service for people size 16+ who reclaim the label "fat."
Topics:
Challenges of being a first generation American
EB's near death experience and how that sparked deep gratitude for her body
Holding trauma in the body
Diet culture and systems of supremacy
How "beauty" has been replaced by "health"
Reclaiming the label "fat"
EB's personal styling consulting company
How being a teacher is a mirror
