Do you know what #BlackGirlMagic is? That is the question I opened my conversation with Chloe Hilliard with.
I worked with Chloe at Gotham Comedy Club last weekend and she was amazing. I was really impressed with her performances and I was psyched to get her on the show. We had a great conversation about race, socio economics and body image. Def get her new book
From her new book F*ck Your Diet: And Other Things My Thighs Tell Me
By the time Chloé Hilliard was 12, she wore a size 12—both shoe
and dress—and stood over six feet tall. Fitting in was never an
option. That didn’t stop her from trying. Cursed with a “slow
metabolism,” “baby weight,” and “big bones,”—the fat trilogy—Chloe
turned to fad diets, starvation, pills, and workouts, all of which
failed.
Realizing that everything—from government policies to corporate
capitalism—directly impacts our relationship with food and our
waistlines, Chloé changed her outlook on herself and hopes others
will do the same for themselves.
The perfect mix of cultural commentary, conspiracies, and
confessions, F*ck Your Diet pokes fun at the all
too familiar, misguided quest for better health, permanent weight
loss, and a sense of self-worth.
