Great piece!! I was flabbergasted when I saw Angela Liddon’s status on Instagram.
There’s a related piece by Stacy Lee Kong you might be interested in. It’s called “Looks like the wellness-to-white-supremacy pipeline is alive and well”
Thank you Filiz!!! And yes, many people weren't too surprised when they heard about Liddon's updates... further questions about how wellness culture on the internet are often depoliticized/sanitized 🤔 thank you for reading!
Thanks for this well-written and thought-provoking post. On a lighter note, it reminded my of a song called "I Saw A White Lady Standing On The Street Just Sobbing" from John Mulaney's musical comedy special, Sack Lunch Bunch. Check it out if you haven't already!
Jeff, you gonna make this white woman cry with your provocative and potent window into this corner of pop culture. I loved your segue into the alt-right/influencer situation happening right now!! Terrifying. I long for a world beyond the "crying white woman" as a central figure in film but in the mean time appreciate your missive on the topic!!! MWAH!
Thank you Karna for reading! I feel like it's definitely a thorny discussion for sure that needs some expanding but glad to put some pieces on the table for thought/discussion!
