Who has watched "The Way Down" docuseries on HBO?? It’s about a “church” [cough-cult] in Nashville called the Remnant Fellowship. The community was created by Gwen Shamblin, author of The Weigh Down Diet. As you might imagine, the intersection of diet culture and evangelicalism is toxic to say the least. If you have watched it, and you have feelings, you are not alone and we got you! This is our mini series called, "The Weigh Down Take Down." In Part 1: Holy But Hungry, we recap the first episode of HBO’S docuseries.

In this episode, Megan and Kendra talk about watermelon… a lot. They also have a conversation about fatphobia in academia and Kendra wisely jokes, “the people in the ivory tower do not get it.” Curry shines as this episode’s guest and educates listeners on her experiences as a fat, Black creative in the contexts of modeling, hair, and pools. Last but not least, they talk summertime treats because we’re still in a pandemic and time means nothing. Transcript https://www.bespokecurry.com/ https://beadandcowrie.bigcartel.com/

SURPRISE! We bring to you a super silly bonus episode where Kendra brings up some “beef” with Megan, Megan shares a story from her journal that sheds light on the beginning of her and her husband, Intern Eric’s, love story, and Kendra laughs the whole way through because vulnerability is uncomfortable. We will be back next week with a full episode, but for this week, enjoy the nonsense and learn more about who Megan and Kendra use to be (and maybe in some ways still are).
