Urzila Carlson: Overqualified Loser
'The only true losers in our society are those people who go online and attack people.' Urzila said what she said. 👑 #UrzilaCarlson
Who it's for
Carlson takes apart the word 'loser' and the culture around weight loss and The Biggest Loser, which can help viewers see body shame as something imposed on them rather than a personal failing.
