Title:
Let's talk about fat bias and thin privilege | Madison A. Krall | TEDxMileHigh
Description:

When we talk about discrimination, we usually consider race, gender and age. But what about size? Have you ever considered whether your weight impacts your ability to get a job or get proper treatment in the doctor’s office? Join Madison A. Krall for an in-depth look at the last accepted prejudice: fat.

Madison A. Krall is a twenty-something health and medicine student based in Denver. In addition to academic writing and teaching, she loves finding ways to incorporate wine and cheese into every meal and playing cribbage with her super cool family. As a proud Christian feminist, Madison adamantly believes we live in a world where people are inherently good and where equality is possible.
