Fat Babes Club of Columbus to celebrate body liberation with summer pool party series

As temperatures skyrocket this summer, one local organization wants to make sure Columbus-area residents of all sizes feel cool by the pool. 

Fat Babes Club of Columbus, a social club and nonprofit, is holding a pair of pool parties on July 9 and Aug. 13. The group is devoted to building advocacy, community, visibility, and resources for folx with marginalized bodies by celebrating babes of all sizes, gender identities, racial and ethnic backgrounds, and abilities.

“Our pool parties are gender inclusive and accessible and we often have babes come from out of city and out of state,” founding member Elizabeth Chinn said. She also noted the pool parties have been put on by FBCC since 2019.
