Unlearning Fatphobia and Reclaiming Sexual Confidence with Rumbidzai

Does my partner still find me attractive?In this episode, Rumbidzai, a pro-Black therapist and womanist, talks about the scars fat women carry and how they affect their sexuality and sex lives. She takes us back to the pivotal moment of realising that she was desirable exactly as she is.Through reflection, she unpacks the impact that internalised fatphobia had on her sexual identity and dating preferences, as well as the ongoing battle for self-acceptance, even after finding love. We talk about navigating intimacy, learning not to overthink sex, and drawing the line between personal preference and outright fatphobia.Please help us reach more women discovering their sexuality, healing from sexual trauma, and learning to love their bodies beyond society's beauty standards.
