In the years following the launch of her first book, Gordon has continued to evolve her career as a writer. This past January, she released her second book, “You Just Need to Lose Weight,” and 19 Other Myths About Fat People, which received the esteemed accolade of becoming a New York Times best seller. Yet before Gordon stood at the forefront of creating real change in the wellness community, shattering biases around the anti-fat culture, she spent 12 years as a community organizer, advocating for pro-LGBTQ+ legislation, ultimately proving Gordon is a natural-born leader.
