02: From Destructive Dieting to Constructive Conversations on Social Justice with Savala Nolan

Savala Nolan's social justice work is critical to changing our world. She is the executive Director of the Center for Social Justice at UC Berkeley School of Law and author of the recently published book Don't Let it Get You Down: Essays on Race, Gender, and the Body. In this show, she gets personal about her recovery from extreme dieting, overexercising, and self-loathing and why systems of oppression encourage us to see the "problem" as within ourselves.

"As a woman, as a fat person, as a woman of color, who's black, you know, every system I interact with is liable to have biases operating within it that disfavor those parts of who I am." -Savala Nolan
