In this episode, Sally Mousa and Reem Shaheen address the topic of food, body image, and today’s body-shaming society. The episode discusses struggles around the idea of using food as a tool to control a dominating narrative in our culture - particularly for women. We also talk on the topic of self-love and embracing ourselves in our very own skin. --------------
