Systems of oppression thrive off our inability to make peace with difference and injure the relationship we have with our own bodies. The Body Is Not an Apology offers radical self-love as the balm to heal the wounds inflicted by these violent systems. World-renowned activist and poet Sonya Renee Taylor invites us to reconnect with the radical origins of our minds and bodies and celebrate our collective, enduring strength. As we awaken to our own indoctrinated body shame, we feel inspired to awaken others and to interrupt the systems that perpetuate body shame and oppression against all bodies. When we act from this truth on a global scale, we usher in the transformative opportunity of radical self-love, which is the opportunity for a more just, equitable, and compassionate world\u2014for us all.<p>\r\n\t       \r\n\t       GBS_insertEmbeddedViewer(“M504DwAAQBAJ”, 500,400);\r\n\t       <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cTo build a world that works for everyone, we must first make the radical decision to love every facet of ourselves\u2026\u2018The body is not an apology’ is the mantra we should all embrace.\u201d \u2014Kimberl\u00e9 Crenshaw, legal scholar and founder and Executive Director, African American Policy Forum \u201cTaylor invites us to break up with shame, to &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/effectsofanxiety.net\/archives\/70229\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">The Body Is Not an Apology<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[409],"tags":[696,38143,19,37653,16121,37655,38145,38146,37654,35251,34389,36104,38148,38149,38150,38151,38152,38156,38153,38154,38157,38158,38159,38147,37010,38155,38161,34828,38144,37518,38160],"class_list":["post-70229","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-health","tag-anxiety","tag-anxiety-and-stress","tag-anxiety-attack","tag-anxiety-books-free","tag-anxiety-disorder","tag-anxiety-games","tag-anxiety-panic-attack","tag-anxiety-panic-disorder","tag-anxiety-relief-games","tag-anxiety-treatment","tag-chronic-stress","tag-coping-with-stress","tag-cure-for-anxiety","tag-cures-for-anxiety","tag-drugs-for-anxiety","tag-help-for-anxiety","tag-herbs-for-anxiety","tag-natural-cure-for-anxiety","tag-natural-cures-for-anxiety","tag-natural-remedies-for-anxiety","tag-natural-remedy-for-anxiety","tag-natural-treatment-for-anxiety","tag-natural-treatments-for-anxiety","tag-panic-attack-treatment","tag-panic-disorder","tag-remedies-for-anxiety","tag-social-anxiety-disorder","tag-stress-anxiety","tag-symptoms-of-a-panic-attack","tag-treatment-for-anxiety-disorder","tag-treatments-for-anxiety"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/effectsofanxiety.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70229","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/effectsofanxiety.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/effectsofanxiety.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/effectsofanxiety.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/effectsofanxiety.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=70229"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/effectsofanxiety.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70229\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/effectsofanxiety.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=70229"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/effectsofanxiety.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=70229"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/effectsofanxiety.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=70229"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
