SPEAKING

Healthy isn’t a size. Romance isn’t love.

 

Sociologist Sabrina Strings, PhD unpacks how racism and sexism shape our bodies, our relationships, and our culture—and equips audiences with research-driven tools for change.
Topics include: the racial origins of fat phobia; the dating economy and the death of romance; media, medicine, and bias.

  • Dr. Sabrina Strings delivered a powerful, eye-opening talk tracing the racist and sexist roots of fatphobia and making complex ideas accessible. Blending rigorous research with storytelling, humor, and vulnerability, she left our community buzzing—challenged and inspired to do better.

  • We invited Sabrina to speak to an audience that was not well-versed in her areas of expertise, including race, health and fatness. Her matter-of-fact presenting style, deep interdisciplinary knowledge and seamless and engaging presentation style wowed the crowd and left everyone thinking - and thinking differently - as a result. I wholeheartedly recommend her as a speaker.
