'Hunger: A Memoir of My Body' is proof that there is power in vulnerability

- “Hunger: A Memoir of My Body” by Roxane Gay, is a powerful look at identity, trauma, and what it means to claim your body as your own. In the award-winning memoir, Gay explores her past, including a horrific trauma, to understand her future and finally accept herself and her body. “Hunger” grapples with more than that, though - it is a look at societal demands of appearance, family dynamics, self-acceptance, and the fraught landscape of women’s pleasure and consumption. There are so few works that so radically and persuasively demand empathy, change, and self-reflection.

I love her giving both equal justification to the terms ‘victim’ and ‘survivor’. The self-help world too often tells folks that they have to move beyond the victim role thereby only repeatedly shaming them and the immense pain connected to victimhood.
And thank you Ali for this sensitively reflected series. You’re a man with both a beautifully educated heart and mind.
Body autonomy and self-respect, we need more of these discussions.

This guy is so passionate about women's issues...I love. ❤️😭
The outcry from the frail patriarchial boys club in this comments section makes me wonder why they are so scared. Could be guilt from their own participation g.r. of little girls

Right?? The comments are insane.

except bologna and dog food,
and no exercise regiment needed..
So get fit and trim with my new
program EVERYONE is talking

I approve this message...
These comments are vile. I hope MSNBC locks the comments section.
The comments are accurate though. Sorry but the truth hurts sometimes
@@dickmonddickelheimer9452 the comments are brutish, inane & completely off topic. What about that do you find accurate?
@@dickmonddickelheimer9452 really? Proven? Prove it! How? When? By whose measure? Because I KNOW of the situation of which she speaks & I know of the truth I find in her words. So prove your accusations against her character, or prove YOURSELF a LIAR
@hisomebodytrackingmuch1309 just do a search on her name and you'll see many credible people proving she lies and makes false accusations

Hunger is a book that i struggled to get through at times but totally worth a read to me hopefully it's helped survivors
Dear Ali, Young people who have access to books, regardless of prejudices, are available in most libraries, help them grow-up being their best, for a person who knows themselves has more power than a fake. Books need to be there to Evolve!
Very good book.
I'm pitching a children's book: PDiddler was a wealthy bunny rabbit who had a basement full of little baby bunnies he would play with. He would charge 100 carrots for an hour of playtime with the baby bunnies. One day, a famous rabbit who called himself John Doe 36 was sad because his favorite Island was shut down. He checked out PDiddler's bunny ranch but none of the baby bunnies were young enough for him....If I can find a publisher, I wonder if Velshi would help me sell my book
How she know 😅
That lady ain't hungry.
I love how banned books sales spike after Ari's reporting.
@SelmaRodriguez2004 reported for stupidity
Same. I'm purchasing this book ASAP! B
There was 6 times the amount of protesters at Brandon’s fundraiser than attendees.
Not one protester was wearing one of those red hats y’all are so afraid of.
The reason there was no red hats there it's not a place for the ignorant you belong at a Trump rally getting conned by the orange Jesus Happy Easter

Democrats are allowed to do the same thing we prosecuted Trump for. It's the law. All Trump had to do was be a Democrat. It's his own fault.
@@swimminginthoughts it's Hillary fault trump is in politics
All she has to do is to modify her diet and exercise. She is blaming her condition on everything else but her own activity. I just got back from a power-walk, within the last several days. I have lost 2 pounds. This book is not banned, it is for sale in bookstores, and on eBay, and other online entities.

pay attention and you’ll see that is not at all what she’s saying 1:25

When these very people say these books aren't 'appropriate' for schoolboard meetings and Congress but acceptable for children there's something wrong. I get you hate the R party but surely your kids come before anything else right?
This book talks about the consequences & of survival mechanisms of REAL horrors that happen to REAL 12 year olds. Why should it be banned. Finding a book like this would have been LIFE SAVING to me at 13!
That gurl ain't hungry! That gurl ready to hybernate!
A must read in Gaza.
Lol

He's already been briefed on guiding Biden around the White House lawn.
The world is falling apart and they report on this nonsense
It's what we expect from MSNBC. When you can't report negatively about Democrats and only attack Republicans you run out of things to talk about.
Somewhere, some 12 yr old r@pe victim's world is falling apart. This book is anything but nonsense!
This book banning mania is a part of everything that's going south. A good society don't ban ideas.
