Body positivity is more than just about size...it is also about race, gender, etc. This week we have the amazing Raffela Mancuso on the podcast. Raffela is a mental illness activist and diet culture DISRUPTOR who uses social media to center people who are living in marginalized bodies, while also sharing about her own personal journey. She’s trying to be compassionate with herself during this pandemic, and she’s hoping you can do the same. She’s all around an amazing human and we are so stoked to have her on!

0:12.8	Welcome to a new episode of Hot Magical Parents with
0:16.2	Yours Truly, Jamie O draws here, and my hubby Douglas
0:19.4	Haler is out there taking care of the kid, so it's just
0:22.6	you and me today.
0:23.7	So excited, because, well, first of all, we have a new
0:27.3	nephew in our family. So little baby Joey Zeza was born and he is just as cute as can be.
