We’re talking about self-acceptance on February’s Diabetes Late Nite podcast with music inspiration from the iconic Dolly Parton scheduled for Tuesday, February 12, 2019, 6 PM.

“Netflix’s Dumpin’ film has an emotionally impactful message of self-acceptance, wrapped in a charming coming-of-age story & steeped in Dolly Parton music,” says ScreenRant.

Dolly received a Golden Globe ‘Best Original Song – Movie’ nomination for her song ‘Girl In the Movies’ from her album, Dumplin’ Original Motion Picture Soundtrack.

Dolly Parton may not star in the Netflix film Dumplin‘, but she’s the driving force behind its story and gives it some sparkle along the way.

The film is based on the book of the same name by Julie Murphy. It tells the story of Willowdean “Dumplin'” Dickson (Danielle Macdonald), the plus-sized teenage daughter of former beauty queen Rosie Dickson (Aniston), who signs up for her mom’s teenage pageant as a protest.

While Rosie values her pageant, she also works hard in a nursing home and doing dress alternations to support her family. Willowdean starts out hating the pageant, but her experience with it teaches her to be less judgmental toward others.

The pageant’s effects on Rosie and Willowdean’s relationship rates as one of the best parts of the film, too, as they learn to put more effort into understanding each other.

“It’s pretty much a girl project … the director of Dumplin’ is a woman, and Linda Perry produced the (soundtrack) … it’s just a lot of girls,” Dolly Parton said. “We didn’t realize it was like that. It just so happened to be, so getting to sing with all these gals was great, too. So we just kind of kept it in the girl theme.”

February’s Diabetes Late Nite guests include Poet Lorraine Brooks, Dr.Beverly S. Adler PhD, CDE, Patricia Addie-Gentle RN, CDE, Catherine Schuller AICI, CIP, Lisa R. Young PhD, CDE, and Type 2 Diabetes – What To Know Facebook Community moderator Autumn Reed.
