Kelly Jensen is an Illinois based former librarian and current editor at Book Riot and her own popular book blog, Stacked. Together, they contribute a broad variety of perspectives on what it’s like to live in their particular bodies-and how their bodies have helped to inform who they are and how they move through the world. In Body Talk, thirty-seven writers, models, actors, musicians, and artists share essays, lists, comics, and illustrations-about everything from size and shape to scoliosis, from eating disorders to cancer, from sexuality and gender identity to the use of makeup as armor. Just as every person has a unique personality, every person has a unique body, and every body tells its own story. We all experience the world in a body, but we don’t usually take the time to explore what it really means to have and live within one. ASL interpretation will be provided for this event. This event will be streamed on Women & Children First's Facebook page. Join us for a virtual author panel celebrating the release of Body Talk: 37 Voices Explore Our Radical Anatomy.
