Quotes by Da’Shaun Harrison (?)

“Insecurities are not a personal indictment; they are an indictment of the World. Being that this is the case, people deemed Ugly should run toward Insecurity. Not as a trauma to inform their politics—as it is dangerous to navigate the world of politics through trauma rather than an informed praxis—but as a political tool that aids in developing their understanding of and relationship to oppressive power structures.”
― Da’Shaun Harrison, Belly of the Beast: The Politics of Anti-Fatness as Anti-Blackness

“if love, of self or of others, is to play a role at all in any liberatory efforts, it must be a starting point and not an end. If self-love is where we start, it must be the driving force behind our continued struggle; otherwise, we become stagnant and immovable, fixated on always challenging how we see our bodies and never getting to the place where we no longer have to interrogate our bodies at all.”
― Da’Shaun Harrison, Belly of the Beast: The Politics of Anti-Fatness as Anti-Blackness
