“Wow, you got fat!” - In Asian cultures, commenting on one’s weight is often considered a “harmless” way to greet people. But that does not make it okay! While fat shaming is not just an Asian issue, some values and practices in Asian cultures are actually feeding into a toxic body image that causes unrealistic expectations of how one’s body should look. 

Body Banter Founder Steph Ng joins Proudly Asian to talk about toxic body image in Asian cultures. She also shares tips on how to empower people around us to openly talk about body image and mental health topics on their own terms.
