Unashamed: Musings of a Fat, Black Muslim / Leah Vernon

Public ISBD Title : Unashamed: Musings of a Fat, Black Muslim Material Type: printed text Authors: Leah Vernon, Author Publisher: Beacon Press ISBN (or other code): 978-0-8070-1262-8 Languages : English (eng) Descriptors: Biography Biography and personal stories Body, beauty and fat activism Family and Relationships Mental Health Poverty Sexual Assault, violence and healing Sexualities Abstract: Ever since she was little, Leah Vernon was told what to believe and how to act. There wasn't any room for imperfection. Good Muslim girls listened more than they spoke. They didn't have a missing father or a mother with mental illness. They didn't have fat bodies or grow up wishing that could be like the white characters they saw on TV. They didn't have husbands who abused and cheated on them. They certainly didn't have secret abortions. Fed up with the constant policing of her body, Leah took to Instagram and started a blog pairing fierce photographs with fearless body-positive captions. Her stylish rants about starting over, prioritizing her mental health, being comfortably fat in a ridiculously thin-obsessed world and indomitable Muslim in America began garnering hundreds of thousands of views. Unashamed is Leah Vernon without filters. She shatters the myth of the perfect Muslim woman with frank dispatches on her love-hate relationship with her hijab and her faith, race, weight, mental illness, domestic violence, sexuality, the millennial world of dating, and the adventure of finding her voice. She shares her raw journey of self-discovery, from her tumultuous adolescence living at the poverty line with her fiercely loving but troubled mother to the violent dissolution of her ten-year marriage. Leah reflects on her experiences hustling paycheck to paycheck, redefining what it means to be a "good" Muslim, and using her body as a vehicle for a beauty-standard rebellion. Irreverant, youthful, and cheeky, Unashamed gives everyone who is marginalized an invitation to live unapologetically.
