Beauty giant Dove has partnered with a Black Lives Matter activist to promote “fat liberation,” after she was accused of wrongfully getting a white student expelled from her university over a “misheard” remark.
Zyanha Bryant, a community organizer and student activist studying at the University of Virginia, made the announcement she was a “Dove ambassador” on her Instagram page at the end of August, as she spoke about her goal of ending the stigma of being overweight.
“My belief is that we should be centering the voices and the experiences of the most marginalized people and communities at all times,” Bryant, 22, said in a video.
“So when I think about what fat liberation looks like to me, I think about centering the voices of those who live in and who maneuver through spaces and institutions in a fat body.”

I hope this is Dove's "Bud Light moment." It's very easy to simply buy a different brand of soap. This woman ruined another girl's life for nothing. She's a militant liar and she's being rewarded. Dove can choose their brand ambassadors, but we get to choose what products we buy.

a community organizer and student activist Why would any serious business hire someone with this crap on their resume? She's toxic. She's trouble just waiting to happen. Run away. Do not hire.
But I guess Dove wants to be "with it".

“ She’s a militant liar and she’s being rewarded.”
That’s the whole point. People who lie in furtherance of the cause get rewarded. People who tell the truth in opposition get punished.
That’s the game.

A soap sponsorship makes sense if one has that much acreage to cleanse

She sure pulled the pin on a fat grenade and never let it go. What a nasty piece of filth.

Well, obviously Dove is going to side with grossly obese people because they use more soap (more surface area to cover) and they have more cracks and crevices to wash.
And I agree with you that this could be Dove's "Butt Light" moment.

Yup, exactly. I have no issue with Dove going for the fat audience. But there are a LOT of fat people to choose from. Why use a proven racist awful person? I can just imagine the Dove board of directors sitting in their offices in their luxury high-rise patting themselves on the back for doing this.

Notice the only fatties allowed are black women.

I have used Dove soap for decades - 3 full baths in each house and Dove always in each.
No more.
EVER.

It really is strange. Corporations and media conglomerates only promote minorities who are fat, or blatant racists, or professional athletes, or rap about drugs and hookers.
The direct result of that is that minorities are perceived as only those things. I guess there's no money in promoting a minority family that have hardworking mothers and fathers, kids who are good students, and are all productive members of society.
