You're listening to Voices of Your Village. This is episode 264. I got to hang out with Pam Luk to chat about building allyship for plus size kids. We know that the world that we are living in today is so different from the world that so many of us grew up in, and we all are coming to the table with our childhood experiences and our cultural experiences, and that includes our body experiences, what we've experienced in our bodies, what we've heard about our bodies, what we've been exposed to in media and all around us. And we get to have a real, open, honest conversation about what it looks like to build allyship for plus size kids.  I'm so jazzed about the work that Pam is doing, and I'm truly excited to see the world that our kids get to grow up in now. All right, folks, let's dive in.  Connect with Pam: Instagram: @emberandace  Website: https://www.emberandace.com/ Connect with us: Instagram: Tiny Humans, Big Emotions (@seed.and.sew) Podcast page: Voices of Your Village Music by: Bensound Seed and Sew's Regulation Quiz: Take the Quiz Order Tiny Humans, Big Emotions now!

Participation in sports declines during adolescence. There are many reasons for this, and I want to address all them because, when kids stop playing sports, they miss out on the mental and physical benefits that sports afford. My guest today is Pam Luk. Pam believes that one of the reasons adolescents quit sports is that athletic wear for kids does a poor job of accommodating different body types. Pam share her story and what she did to address the problem next. More information about Pam and Ember & Ace is at talkingaboutkids.com.

Kids shouldn't be stopped from playing their favourite sports because they can't find active wear. Committed to helping kids thrive and not experience the negative impacts of having to leave their teams, their friends, and experience weight-stigmatizing clothing practices at a young age, Pam Luk (she/her) is determined to change the children's apparel landscape with her company, Ember & Ace. Growing up playing sports, Pam learned the importance of finding active wear that fits. Not finding functional clothing is one of the main reasons kids quit sports, so Pam launched Ember & Ace exclusively for plus size kids with a focus on comfort and performance.

This is a preview of  episode 112 of the Making After School  Cool podcast which will tackle the subject of discussing  Body Diversity  with Youth. The perceptions of body image grow over time. It changes when kids go through puberty and shaped by the media and  what others say about beauty standards. During this time in their life's youth  need  educators, parents and other adults to help support a child's healthy body image. Therefor this upcoming episode of the Making After School Cool podcast features my conversation with Pam Luk, founder of Ember and Ace.

“Stop commenting on their bodies. Stop commenting on what they're eating. Just clamp down on that urge because it's not helpful. It's not helpful. Start being aware of how you talk about bodies, including your own. And, you know, focus on things that the kids have control over, attitude, effort, manners, how they treat themselves, and how they treat others.“ –  Pam Luk   If you're someone who has ever shopped for plus size clothes, or if you've tried to find clothing for a plus size kid, you know how difficult it can be. The number of options is so limited, and often the sizes available don't even go up that high, and you're left hanging. All of this contributes to so much body shame, and it's one of those ways that the world around us conveys that fat bodies aren't ok.    Well my guest today, Pam Luk, decided to change that. Pam is the founder of Ember & Ace, an athletic wear brand for plus-size kids. Growing up playing sports, Pam learned firsthand the importance of finding activewear that fits. Not finding it is one of the main reasons kids quit sports. Pam launched Ember & Ace exclusively for plus-size kids with a focus on comfort and performance.   This is such a great conversation this time of year as we are shopping for our loved ones during the holidays, and as we are about to be bombarded with all of the New Year's dieting propaganda. Pam is on a mission to change the way our world views bodies, by starting with making athletic wear available to kids so they can do the activities they love and see their bodies as capable and deserving of taking up space. She also shares so much wisdom about how we as adults can become more comfortable with our bodies, and how we can talk to kids about body diversity - particularly if you are plus size or have a plus size kid.    Regardless of the size or shape of your body, this conversation has something in it for you. I love Pam's tips for clothes shopping to help us stay out of a negative body image spiral, and her insights into navigating hard conversations within ourselves and with our kids about weight and body size.      So, let's settle in and hear what Pam has to say!    [00:01 - 03:52] Ember And Ace: The Focus On Fit And Performance Pam is the founder of Ember and Ace She shares her experience with the difficulty of finding clothing that fit her well Ember and Ace is designed to be comfortable and perform well, with a focus on fit and performance   [03:53 - 11:40] Changing The Way The World Views Bodies Pam shares that her goal is to change the way the world views bodies by starting with making athletic wear available to kids She shares her wisdom about how we can become more comfortable with our bodies, and how we can talk to kids about body diversity How a lack of plus-size clothing led her to create Ember and Ace Athletic wear is one way to fill in this gap in the market, as it is often more proportionate for larger bodies Parents have to be creative in order to find clothes that fit their plus-size kids Parents should size up until they reach the top of the available size range, and look for features like cuffs and cropped pants in plus-size clothing items   [11:41 - 36:15] The Need For More Clothing Options Of Plus-Size Kids Negative thoughts about plus-size bodies and these thoughts can be harmful Kids need to see more bodies that look like theirs in the media and in their everyday lives It's important for parents of plus-size kids to not feel ashamed or embarrassed about their size and to have open conversations about body diversity with their children The importance of separating the negative connotations of the word “fat” from its actual meaning, which is a body size that falls within a range She encourages parents to have small conversations with their kids about body size, listening and asking questions to get an understanding She offers her advice on how to have these conversations with kids when they are still influenced by diet culture How the media does not represent the reality of the bodies around us   [36:16 - 56:50] Social Media Can Be A Tool For Connection, But It Can Also Be Harmful The importance of getting the right fit of children's clothing right She discusses plans to incorporate a resale component into her business in the new year She advises parents to be aware of how they talk about bodies, and to focus on things that the kids have control over Her personal preference for winter over summer, and is more of a dog person Her favorite form of self-care is walking outside, which she does frequently without headphones It's important to be aware of our surroundings and to pay attention to what others are doing Have compassion for ourselves and for other people, and to teach our kids about body diversity   [56:51 - 57:26] Wrapping up!  Pam shares that it's important to remember that weight stigma against larger bodies exists in all cultures, and it's important to break that cycle      Save tons of time and money by planning meals ahead!

After her career in project  management, Pam wanted to ensure her daughter and other children can be comfortable in the  clothes they wear for sporting activities.  With that goal in mind, she  launched a fashion line  exclusively for active plus size kids. Pam understands what it means to be plus size while also being an  active, healthy child and adult. She wants to bring more awareness around body diversity, how to talk to your child about bodies, and embracing differences and tools parents can utilize to make clothes shopping easier.

If you have a plus-sized teen struggling with their body image or not feeling accepted, this episode is for you. Thanks to media, advertisers, and the ever-growing weight-loss industry, we live in a society that believes the thinner the better. This has led to an increase in eating disorders for both women and men, which has the highest mortality rate of any mental illness. To counter this dangerous trend, many are trying to reignite the body positive movement that was first launched in the 60's. The goal is to shift the focus from thin as the image of “health” to the acceptance and celebration of all sizes and weights. But we still have a long way to go! In this episode I'm joined by Pam Luk, the founder of Ember & Ace, an athletic wear brand exclusively for plus size kids (PSKs).  Pam and I discuss: The impact of today's thin culture on our kids How to help children of all shapes and sizes develop a positive body image How to support and advocate for our children   Thanks for Listening!
