520 |a When King first joined a gym, she fell into the all-too-common cycle of "not enough-ness": no matter what she achieves, there was always something she felt she needed to change about her body, her appearance, herself. She came to understand that diet and fitness industries rooted in white supremacy were the problem: Euro-centric beauty standards were the problem. Here King shares the wisdom, the tools, and the inspiration to motivate readers to find body liberation. Even more important, to pass it on. -- adapted from jacket
