Obscura Fox, (she & they).

I am involved with Puckduction because i know that this organisation is led and run by people who understand me and have similar lived experiences. I know i can be safe and understood whether i am volunteering, performing, or an audience member/participant. As a fat, queer, Black performer finding organisations to associate with can be difficult. Puckduction goes to great lengths to compensate those involved to the best of thier fiscal ability. Because of their legitimacy and respect nation-wide within the arts commmunity, my association with Puckduction has led to many doors being open for me as an artist. My career, both as a performer and movement educator has been postiviely impacted by Puckduction due to the exposure I have recieved.

Hi, I’m Cam! I have been fat my whole life, and FatCon was the first place where I experienced fat joy for the first time. From the fat fashion show, to the sex positive panels, to fat bingo, to the vendor booths with clothes and products designed just for us, to the fat pool party, I have never had so much fun in my entire life. Getting to hug, laugh, celebrate, dance, and swim with other fat people at Fat Con was a life changing experience.
