I'm Invested in the Pursuit of Equity
I’m invested in the pursuit of equity.
Particularly in the context of eating disorder detection, healing, treatment, and recovery. This is my life’s work. And my life’s work has been incomplete, uninformed, and limited because of the whitewashing of everything.
I have worked at all levels of eating disorder care. I have been involved in the care of thousands of clients. And I can count the number of Black colleagues that I’ve worked with on one hand. I can count the number of Black clients I’ve worked with on two hands, maybe twice.
These numbers are not representative of need or expertise.
Diet culture exists because racism exists. Eurocentric beauty ideals exist because racism exists.
It is my honor to have sponsored the @myblackbodypodcast.
I am committed to using my platform to elevate voices that need to be heard. Black Lives Matter. Black voices matter. Black stories matter. Black healing is essential.
