🌟 [ 25 ]   How to make peace with your belly fat | Susan Lieu [ @TEDx Talks ]

For years Susan was disgusted with her belly fat until her ancestors smacked some sense into her in a sweat lodge. Hear about how Susan’s experience in losing her mother to plastic surgery at a young age changed her perspective on beauty, self-love, and forgiveness. Susan Lieu is a nationally-acclaimed Vietnamese American author, playwright, and performer who tells stories that refuse to be forgotten. A daughter of nail salon workers, she took her autobiographical solo theatre show 140 LBS: How Beauty Killed My Mother on a national tour with sold out premieres and accolades from L.A. Times, NPR, and American Theatre. Eight months pregnant, she premiered her sequel Over 140 LBS at ACT Theatre. Within one year, she gave 60 performances to over 7,000 people. Her award-winning work has been featured at Bumbershoot, Wing Luke Museum, The Moth Mainstage, On The Boards, and more than a dozen universities. She has developed new work at numerous residencies including Hedgebrook, Vashon Artist Residency, Mineral School, and Millay Arts. Susan is co-host of The Model Minority Moms podcast. She is an alumnus of Harvard College, Yale School of Management, and Coro. Her forthcoming memoir, The Manicurist’s Daughter (Celadon) is her first book.
