What Folks are Saying:
The Book
In Black. Fat. Femme: Revealing the Power of Visibly Queer Voices (in Media) and Learning to Love Yourself, educator and media critic Dr. Jonathan P. Higgins--aka Doctor Jon Paul--delivers an honest and extraordinary new take on how the author, and other Black Fat Femmes like them, have come to find and understand their identity.
“This is a triumph of embracing one's true self. The lessons and insights within are valuable to anyone who wants a deeper connection and understanding of the world around them. Filled with humor and heart, DoctorJonPaul’s experiences are delivered with a passion that anyone can draw strength from.”
- Noah J.
As a therapist who often recommends books for empowerment, self-discovery, and healing, Black. Fat. Femme. by Dr. Jonathan P. Higgins is an essential read. This memoir and cultural analysis beautifully blends personal storytelling with critical reflections on race, gender expression, and body image, particularly within the LGBTQ+ community.
