I love fashion, but—as a fat woman—it doesn’t always love me back

The first ever WakandaCon offered Black sanctuary in an unexpectedly emotional experience
When Beyoncé’s Lemonade dropped in 2016, I became the target of ire from many of her fans. The album, its imagery, and subject matter did not move me in the way that it moved most of them, and my apathy towards it and critiques of the artist have always been easily dismissed as hateration. But […]
