In this episode, Queer, Latinx Melba Martinez debunks the painful misconceptions and stereotypes that all too often come along with being fat. She shows us that you can exist in a bigger body and still have show-stopping style, love hiking and dancing, value life and stand firmly in your worth, despite being told otherwise and relentlessly marginalized from a young age.
Melba’s secret to healing from society’s incessant judgements is in admitting her hurt. While she still suffers from depression, not pushing down her feelings has liberated her from longer periods of darkness, just as not depriving herself from food and instead learning to eat intuitively has liberated her from dimming her life force by obsessing on fitting a mold she’ll never fit in.
Ultimately, by trusting in herself, Melba has found her power to shine from within.
“I posted a photo of myself. Someone commented, ‘You deserve to die because you don't care about yourself.’ I actually love life. I think I'm one of the most lively people that I know. That assumption that I don't care about my life… I'm like, I actually know that I'm more alive than you are because I'm caring. And I want to create a world where everybody can be as authentically themselves as possible."
