Donate your photos for my project?
Hi Everyone!
Long time lurker, first time poster!
I am working on a class project about size/weight discrimination, and I'm collecting photos to use in a power point slideshow. The goal of my project is to encourage people to think about the assumptions they make about people based on weight, and how those assumptions are widely unfounded.
This is a fat friendly, fat positive presentation, so I'm hoping that some of you might be willing to share some photos of yourselves that I can use in my project to help dispel myths about fat people. Your names/identifying information will remain anonymous, but if you'd like to share something interesting about yourself, I would you love to use that in the presentation as well to show that fat people are multifaceted, varied people who do and are interested in a wide range of things.
So if you'd like to help me out, please respond to this post with a photo of yourself (you and only you, so we don't have to worry about getting other people's permission) and maybe something about you. Examples, "I love to knit!" "I am a veterinary assistant!" "I live in China!" "I am vegan!" "I like to fix cars!"
Thank you in advance!
Also, I am so happy to share my project with anyone who is interested (once it is finished in about a month!)
Thank you!!
UPDATE: Thank you everyone for contributing your photos! Feel free to keep adding if you like! I am going to do my best to use everyone's photos because what you all have been contributing is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing yourselves with me!
I want to share, too, so look below to see a couple photos of me! Thank you!
My name is Katy and I am a graduate student studying education. I'm interested in how preconceptions of fatness affect educator's treatment of fat students. I love to travel, read, bake bread, go hiking, and kale is my favorite vegetable!
At the corn maze a few weeks ago!
Singing karaoke with my family this past summer.
