Could you imagine walking into a crowded room and having all eyes fixed on you in judgement, wonder, and fear? That's what happens to this week's guest DAILY.
In this episode of Love Your Bodd, Heather interviews professional basketball player, photographer, and all around good guy, Rodney Epps. As a very tall (we are talking 6'8") Dominican/Black man, he shares with us how the aura of a room changes whenever he walks in. And how he LOVES that moment when people settle in and realize he isn't going to ruin their night. Can you imagine?
This episode is less about body image and WAY more about racism, sexism, stereotypes, and overcoming your situation. Rodney isn't shy. He talks baby mama drama, life regrets, and even jail time. He opens up about trying to gain self control and get back on track playing basketball, get custody of his daughter, and cutting the people who use him out of his life. He's torn between the "street world" and his world of "corporate success" and he shares all of it with YOU!

See that title? Be more than a collection of status indicators! That is how this fantastic man, Raja Burrows, talks! In this episode of Love Your Bodd, Heather chats with this intelligent, recently WOKE man about his many recent discoveries based on identity and his status as a man of color in the United States. He inversely also acknowledges his privilege as a male being raised by a white family. It's a fascinating episode discussing both race and fitness as a status symbol and how "The System" aka "Society" rewards you for fitting into what is "ideal." Unlike any episode Heather has done so far, Raja brings an intellectual breakdown of how our identities are affected by society as a whole. Well done, Raja!

Hi-dee-hey, do we have a special episode this week. It's the first ladies of Love Your Bodd all together in ONE ROOM! Heather calls them the "Gal Gang" because she likes alliteration and wants to showcase how badass these chicks are. In this interview Heather chats with the 4 beautiful women whose voices you have already heard: Jessica Jain, Kati Frazier, Rachel Lauria, and Ebony Short! Except this time they are all discussing together in one room and may or may not be drinking mimosas.
If you want to hear a diverse group of women talk about body image, this is the episode for you. They cover everything from bra size to (lack of) prom dates. It gets a little serious too talking about male gaze the possible need to cut negative people from your life. It's hard out there for a chick. Listen to Gal Gang discuss it.

In this episode of Love Your Bodd, host Heather interviews her partner in crime: Ebony Short. Heather and Ebony do so much together that people have coined them as "Ebony and Ivory." They hate this for a MULTITUDE of reasons and would much prefer being called Peanut Butter and Chocolate, please. This is because Heather is nuts and a little bit brown and Ebony is REAL sweet but has a bitter side like Chocolate. It's the most accurate thing really.
Ebony is a fashion designer so she and Heather talk lots about how the way you dress represents who you are. Do you hide behind your clothing or use it to make a statement? What is your style? Why does it even matter?
It's a fun interview covering everything from breast size to TOTALLY selling out in the fashion industry. Ebony drops some truth bombs about working behind the scenes in the casting world that will BLOW YOUR MIND.
Due to an audio glitch, Heather's microphone had to be turned off mid interview. You can still hear everything, she just sounds a little far away. Rather than ignore it and have listeners thinking, "why?" we thought it would be important to mention.
