The No Fly on the WALL Academy presents its second 'Fly Girlz Brunch' in which the No Fly on the WALL team sit down with self-identifying black women and women of colour, along with experts on a particular subject of focus in a relaxed environment. Over home made muffins and tea, we will discuss the things that matter in an effort to continue fostering debate and discussion in a safe space, amplifying the voices of black women and women of colour in British society today.
"Size matters" but does it? Through an informal chat, we will explore what our bodies tell us about our place in society, through the shaming and misplaced obsession with the black female body. It is time to discuss how women of colour feel about their own bodies and explore how far have Eurocentric values on body image, taken the woman of colour away from her values?
We will discuss how black women's bodies are represented in the media and also the history of the European relationship with the black female body. We wil also explore how black women view their own bodies as a result of said representation in the media and also think about our different body types and about the western ideologies regarding dieting. It is imperative that a discourse remains centre stage about the foods African women and afro-Caribbean women know and include in their diets. We hope the session will provide useful tools to inform the black woman's praxis of self-actualisation.
The session will be led by Kelechi Okafor. Kelechi is a personal trainer with a great passion for the fitness. Sport and fitness have been a part of her life for years, and she successfully runs it alongside her professional acting career. Through training clients and through her acting work, she has come to know and understand bodies and society's views regarding the bodies of Women of Colour. It then became a fully fledged mission to assist WOC with loving their bodies according to their own ideals. There is no "one size fits all" rule when it comes to the body and fitness, so it's important to determine our own rules. This way, the body that you desire will be the one you inhabit.
This event is open to all self-identifying women of colour. No Fly on the WALL Academy events are transinclusive.
Discussions will begin at 10.30 am so please arrive 15 minutes earlier to settle in.
