03 - Arfa Shahid - Self Love and Stereotypes in the Pakistani Media

Arfa Shahid flies in the face of stereotypes. She’s the first Pakistani plus-size reporter, and producer on a Pakistani TV news channel; an influential blogger; a champion of modest fashion; and most importantly, an advocate of body positivity. Along with our guest-host, Rehana Arif, we discuss body image, self-love, the challenges of Pakistani media, and much, much more. Our conversation with Arfa was informative, relatable, and heart-felt.
