In this powerful and deeply tender episode of Big Sexy Chat, we sit down with the brilliant Rawiyah Tariq; a Black, fat, disabled, and neurodivergent artist, writer, and healer whose work centers embodiment, ritual, and reclamation for marginalized bodies and spirits.
Rawiyah shares the wisdom behind their practice, A Sovereign Embodiment, and speaks candidly about navigating medical trauma, reclaiming pleasure through kink, and redefining beauty, power, and softness on their own terms. This conversation moves through grief, survival, pleasure, and sovereignty, reminding us that liberation begins in the body.
We explore how embodiment can be both spiritual and practical, how ritual and magic coexist with self-care, and what it means to hold yourself and others through pain, pleasure, and healing.
In this episode, we talk about:
✨ The spiritual and emotional layers of embodiment
✨ Medical trauma, fatphobia, and bodily autonomy
✨ Kink as a space of reclamation and healing
✨ Balancing ritual, magic, and everyday self-care
✨ Sovereignty, softness, and embodied liberation
This episode is a gentle but powerful reminder that healing isn’t linear. It’s embodied, sacred, and deeply human.
