In S2 Ep.2 of Real Talk On Godtalk, your favorite co-hosts sit down with Sarah K -\\xa0writer, community engagement coordinator, and self proclaimed \\u201cfat woman\\u201d. Her work joins the field of \\u2018fat studies\\u2019 and social ethics with theologies of the body. She helps us answer the Real Talk question of the week, \\u201cHow do our feelings about fat people clue us into our beliefs about God?\\u201d. Next, in Keeping Time and the Moon Reading, YaYa shows us how to take advantage of the back to back meteor showers that end in a full moon on October 13th. And finally, we have a new segment called \\u201cQuality of Life Hack\\u201d,\\xa0 where this week, TRUTH introduces us to a more spiritually grounded approach to the activity everyone loves to hate: networking.

N.B

At about 38:56\\xa0 YaYa mistakenly refers Sara Baartman as Venus Hottentot. Let\\u2019s use the platforms we have to self-correct and #sayhername : Sara Baartman\\xa0 (1770s \\u2013 29 December 1815) was the best known of at least two South African Khoikhoi women who, due to their large buttocks, were exhibited in racist freak show attractions in 19th-century Europe under the name Hottentot Venus\\u2014"Hottentot", an offensive term,\\xa0 was the name for the Khoi people. Upon her death in 1815, Baartman\\u2019s body was dissected and displayed in the western scientific community for \\u201cmedical research\\u201d.\\xa0
