Who Is SoJoHello?

Maybe you met me in person and I told you a bit about what I do, my passions. Perhaps you found my on Instagram or TikTok, or even Twitter. However it is you found me, I’m glad you’re here! I’m Sara Jo, AKA SoJo or SoJoHello, a fat liberationist!

I’ve spent several years utilizing Instagram as my main platform to reach fat folks with my art, fat justice activism, and by just being my radically authentic self.

Instagram has become increasingly hostile towards accounts run by folks who are fat, BIPOC, LGBTQ+, sex-positive, etc. If you hit at an intersection, it can feel compounded. After having numerous posts reported and/or removed by the algorithm without any actual violations in said posts, I decided to stop devoting so much of my time and energy to a platform that was so hostile to my very presence. It was time to pivot!

Here we are! You’ll find much of the same content consolidated and categorized for ease of use, but now there’s so much more!

I’m here to talk about all things fat, to create art, and be a connection for all seeking information and community in their fat liberation, body liberation, and self love journey.

If you’re brand new to the idea of not hating your body or just trying to figure out how to like yourself a little bit, my art is for you! If you’ve spent some time figuring out what body positivity is and you’re struggling with how watered down it has become, my artwork is for you! If you’ve done extensive work to extricate yourself from diet culture and you just happened to fall into old habits or a bit of a rut… you guessed it, my art is here for you! If you just want another awesome fat friend to help support you in your activism efforts, I’m always here for that as well!

I cannot stress this enough: This community is stronger, more resilient, and more capable of changing society’s fat phobia if we educate ourselves and help build each other up. My current contribution is through my artwork. I hope you enjoy!
