Mingus’s work focuses on those who are most significantly impacted by systems of oppression, and while I would never compare my experience to theirs, I was still surprised to learn how relevant their experiences were to my own. I’d heard that all liberation was bound together, but now I could see it for myself: As long as ableism, fatphobia, transphobia, and white supremacy (et al) remained in place, none of us could feel comfortable in our own skin.
