Fattily Ever After
A Black Fat Girl's Guide to Living Life Unapologetically
'The truth is, body positivity is for white women. White female bodies being safe is paramount to maintaining white supremacy.' — Stephanie Yeboah, 2017
Twenty-nine-year-old plus-size blogger Stephanie Yeboah has experienced racism and fat-phobia throughout her life. From being bullied at school to being objectified and humiliated in her dating life, Stephanie’s response to discrimination has always been to change the narrative around body-image and what we see as beautiful.
In her debut book,Fattily Ever After, Stephanie Yeboah speaks openly and courageously about her own experience on navigating life as a Black, plus-sized woman — telling it how it really is — and how she has managed to find self-acceptance in a world where judgement and discrimination are rife.
Featuring stories of every day misogynoir and being fetishised, to navigating the cesspit of online dating and experiencing loneliness, Stephanie shares her thoughts on the treatment of black women throughout history, the marginalisation of black, plus-sized women in the media (even within the body-positivity movement) whilst drawing on wisdom from other black fat liberation champions along the way. Peppered with insightful tips and honest advice and boldly illustrated throughout, this inspiring and powerful book is essential reading for a generation of Black, plus-sized women, helping them to live their life openly, unapologetically and with confidence.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
