Albany Library Series: Beauty Manifested

In this workshop we will watch Beauty Manifested (9 min.), a  documentary short that shares Sophia Smart’s journey to interrupt abusive patterns of fat shaming passed down in her family and perpetuated in her community, in order to heal ancestral trauma and reclaim love of her body, mind and spirit. Sophia shares the courage and wisdom she has gathered as a fat, Black queer who is committed to justice, joy and the community interconnection that gets us free. The film will be followed by a conversation on body image and self-love. Participants are invited (but not required) to read the book My Body Is Not An Apology.
