Reclaiming Zaftig: A Jewish journey of body acceptance

“It’s not a secret that I am zaftig. I can’t hide it, and I no longer want to.”

 

Over the last few weeks, I’ve been working on writing something that I’ve not only never written about before, but barely speak about: my body. Writing this piece was a long time coming and I am both proud and relieved to have had it published by Alma. Check out the full piece here!
And PLEASE check out the incredible illustrator, Fernanda Sanovicz! One of the reasons why this piece took so long to publish was because Alma specifically wanted a custom illustration to accompany it, and I am thrilled with the result!
