Emma Haslam plus size pole dancer enthusiast from Derby England smashing fitness stereotype on Britain’s Got Talent by showing through her routine that consist of her swinging her plus size around the pole and hanging upside down held up only by her legs that she is not limited by her size.
Seeing her do her thing made me want to slam the mic down on the ground and yell, “BAM, Challenge!” even though I don’t have a damn mic. I watched the whole routine in opened mouth awe realizing a startling truth. We all in some ways internalized the negative stereotypes of plus size people and limit them in our own minds assigning them tasks they can and cannot do.
Isn’t it interesting that “we” all in some way resist stereotypes that categorize us into neat little boxes limiting our potential and yet we apply those same methods to fat (plus size) people without their consent and then are overly critical and vexed when they smash right through them?
Wow! That's fabulous! That took a lot of confidence. Good for her and good for the judges.
ReplyDeleteright? I know, confidence is it really.
DeleteAn amazingly acrobatic lady there. She is indeed fat and fit !
ReplyDeleteShe is flexible that's for sure. At the very least she is teaching her daughter a great lesson of embracing and loving herself at any size.
