Black women’s bodies are influential but they are also a very controversial topic in American society and yet they are constantly policed by others. While considering the long history of devaluing Black women’s bodies, there are non-Black women who surgically pay to have the bodies most Black women are born with. In my dissertation, I argue through qualitative research and my lived experience radical self love, honesty and authenticity will help Black women reprocess, rebuild, and reclaim relationships with their bodies. These conversations are meant to challenge social norms for body image in an attempt to humanize Black women in America.
