In S2 Ep.2 of Real Talk On Godtalk, your favorite co-hosts sit down with Sarah K - writer, community engagement coordinator, and self proclaimed “fat woman”. Her work joins the field of ‘fat studies’ and social ethics with theologies of the body. She helps us answer the Real Talk question of the week, “How do our feelings about fat people clue us into our beliefs about God?”. Next, in Keeping Time and the Moon Reading, YaYa shows us how to take advantage of the back to back meteor showers that end in a full moon on October 13th. And finally, we have a new segment called “Quality of Life Hack”, where this week, TRUTH introduces us to a more spiritually grounded approach to the activity everyone loves to hate: networking.
N.B
At about 38:56 YaYa mistakenly refers Sara Baartman as Venus Hottentot. Let’s use the platforms we have to self-correct and #sayhername : Sara Baartman (1770s – 29 December 1815) was the best known of at least two South African Khoikhoi women who, due to their large buttocks, were exhibited in racist freak show attractions in 19th-century Europe under the name Hottentot Venus—"Hottentot", an offensive term, was the name for the Khoi people. Upon her death in 1815, Baartman’s body was dissected and displayed in the western scientific community for “medical research”.
