This week, we sit down with our guest, Shannon Malone-deBenedictis, a two-time EMMY winner, documentarian, and certified Body Image Coach, to talk about her experiences as a plus-size woman in art and media. What do you do when you need to wear a stunning look for an event, and everyone suggests you wear black to cover up? And how do you navigate the cultural negativity against size applied behind the scenes? Who are we? We're James and Tim, two gainers who want to explore everything about gaining and feedism.
