Music | Desiree Burch - Profiles In Fatness | EPISODE 2

“Music, in particular, has benefitted so greatly from big women. Do you know what I mean? It’s not always the case, but usually big women are the better singers. They’ve got the capacity for that breath and that power.”
Fat women have always been at the forefront of the music that is the most important to us. But if the average music video is to be believed, then you'll need to be able to sing, dance, and look incredibly thin from any angle in order to be considered a pop star. In this music-themed episode, Desiree is joined by author and journalist, Dr. Joan Morgan Ph.D. to shine a light on these forgotten queens and finally give them the R.E.S.P.E.C.T they deserve.

What’s 'Profiles In Fatness' about?
Women have always made up around 50% of the population, but only occupy approximately 0.5% of recorded history, add fatphobia into the mix and that figure drops off a cliff. But not anymore. Join comedian and writer Desiree Burch as she flips the script and takes us on a glitter-dusted celebration of the amazing fat HEROES that are so often skimmed over or airbrushed out of history.
Produced by Little Dot Studios.
