Ep.58 BADA$$ PLUS SIZE TV CHARACTERS

Welcome to The Eff Your Fears Podcast! This week we welcome back our guest from last week Kristin Cantwell. We share our top picks for Bada$$ plus-size characters. I would love to hear what you have to say, and before y'all get all crazy on me, these are subjective, and you can have your own feels but share with kindness. And also I know some won't consider Mindy Lahiri plus-sized, but that's how I identify her in my head, and you can't fight with crazy so let me have that :) In this list, we talk about Khadijah James (Queen Latifa) in Living Single Mindy Lahiri (Mindy Kaling) in The Mindy Project Aidy Bryant as a cast member on Saturday Night Live Tasha "Taystee" Jefferson (Danielle Brooks) in Orange Is the New Black Fran (Lolly Adefope) in Shrill Sookie St. James (Melissa McCarthy) in Gilmore Girls Ruby Hill Good Girls and as Donna in Parks and Rec portrayed by Retta Annie (Aidy Bryant ) in Shirll Carmen (Britney Young) in Glow Paula Proctor (Donna Lynne Champlin) in Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Emmy Hart (Ashley Monique Menard... ME) in The Art of Blowing It We also have a chat about everything from Shrill with the women's need to take care of a man to fat Monica in the suit to body representation in the 90s. Do you cancel the show or still have a space for it?
