App Permissions
What you allow different areas of your life to access. The boundaries between work, relationships, health, and identity.
Aly Raisman and the Weight She Was Carrying
App Permissions are about what you allow different parts of your life to access — particularly whether your sport, job, or external role gets to control how you feel about your body and what you eat. Aly Raisman's gymnastics career had been granted full access to her relationship with food and her physical self. It got to decide when she ate, how much, and whether she could eat in front of others at all. The shift she's making now is about revoking those permissions — deciding that the sport no longer gets to govern her body image or eating.
