We as providers are not only doing a disservice to We as providers are not only doing a disservice to, but are actively harming our clients if we are not individualizing our recommendations. In order to conform, we, BBIPOC, are taught to erase our identity. What are your thoughts on this? What can providers do differently? Register for our webinar with @weightinclusivenetwork coming up NEXT WEEK! on May 10th where we will be discussing this in more detail as well as the history of food recommendations and the impact on BBIPOC. ID: Black text on a light pink background that reads "When individuals are recommended to adopt Western diets in the name of "health" it reinforces the marginalization and racism that many BBIPOC individuals already face. It suggests that our cultural diets and foods are bad, and by extension, that we are bad for eating them. We as BBIPOC have been taught to erase our identity in order to conform, including through food.
Welcome to The Community. A new virtual support gr Welcome to The Community. A new virtual support group by BIPOC, for BIPOC. You have seen me talk about the importance of building community and that is what this group is all about. We are going to be talking about all things nutrition, religion and food, family and food, stress, being BIPOC, finances and food, and anything else that comes up in these times. The group is meant to be loosely structured to allow for insight from everyone who wants to participate. Cost is pay what you can, even if that's nothing. This group was made to be inclusive. DM me, email me, or comment below if you are interested. More details about date and time coming up next! We would love to have you ❤️
If you've been wondering why I've been terrible at If you've been wondering why I've been terrible at responding to emails and DMs for the past YEAR, it's because of this! I got married! AND we bought a house! I've moved twice in the last 6 months. I can't guarantee that I'll respond any faster, but I'll be trying harder 🙃 One thing that was really important to us was including family, friends, and their gifts and talents as part of this process to not only make it that much more special, but to also support their businesses. I will be posting more about them at some point, but here's the rundown of our amazing people: Makeup (she also did my mom and sister's braids and my bun!): @visagebeauty.co Engagement photos: @cmcreativephoto Rings: @dogwoodjewelers Violinist: @tmarzik Dancer (of course I had a pole dancer at my wedding!): @andreamindbodysoul Officiant Extraordinaire: @therealjeffspencer @sweetnup_podcast Photographer (will share his professional pics later!): @davenoonan_ Venue: @wrightsmillfarm Second picture is what my face looks like when you eat my marshmallow.
I meant to make a post similar to this towards the I meant to make a post similar to this towards the end of Heart Health and Black History Month, but here we are a whole month later 😅 There are so many studies, statistics, and conversations about black folks' health. According to the NIH in 2018, "black adults are nearly twice as likely as white adults to develop type 2 diabetes". And according to the HHS, "African Americans were 30 percent more likely to die from heart disease than non-Hispanic whites" as well as having higher blood pressure. We are constantly talking about the racial disparities and how we have to go into Black communities and "teach them how to eat healthy". (I remember as a dietetic intern, I had an assignment where I went to a Latinx community in Waterbury, CT where I taught them to swap Greek yogurt for mayo and to swap brown rice for white 🤦🏾‍♀️). But why are we never talking about a blatant reason these stats are higher in the first place? Before we talk about these racial disparities in health, let's talk about disparities in who experiences racism, who has access to jobs, homes, grocery stores, etc, who is impacted by white supremacy. Let's not forget: racism increases stress. Stress is a huge factor in developing diabetes and heart disease. Share your thoughts below. Please see the disclaimer highlight in my profile. ID: Black text on a white background that reads "When we are having conversations about diabetes and heart disease in the Black community, racism and white supremacy must always be part of that conversation."
Have you heard someone say "why can't people just Have you heard someone say "why can't people just make food at home!? It's cheaper and healthier!"? When we talk about fast food, it's not just about the convenience. It can be the only option for so many reasons and we need to stop demonizing it. My apologies for the very busy slides, but this is literally what I'm talking about. I used prices for my location and grocery store and the cost is for 1 person. If you want to also add in "everyone should eat organic", then the cost of the homecooked meals need to go up. Also add in the need for storage for the leftover food and ingredients. I'm sure I missed plenty of things on these lists. What would you add? ID: 1: Costco Hot Dog and Drink in pink text over a black background. Below is a graphic of a hot dog and a drink cup. It reads what is needed: cost without tax $1.50. Access to a Costco. Transportation to get there. 2: Homemade "healthy" meal in pink text over a black background. Below is a graphic of chicken legs, lettuce, and rice. It reads what is needed: estimated cost of $4.19. Access to food/fresh vegetables, grocery store or delivery service. Transportation to get there/funds for deliver. Access to a clean, functioning kitchen with needed equipment and tools. Ability to cook/move around in the kitchen. Ability to follow a recipe or make a meal. Time. 3: Wendy's Apple Pecan Salad in pink text over a black background. Below is a graphic of a bowl of salad. It reads what is needed: cost without tax $8.29. Access to a Wendy's. Transportation to get there/funds for delivery. 4: Homemade Apple Pecan Salad in pink text over a black background.

The book is here!! It's Always Been Ours: Rewritin The book is here!! It's Always Been Ours: Rewriting the Story of Black Women's Bodies by @jessicawilson.msrd I'm at a loss for words because of the impact this book (your words) and you, Jessica, have had on my life and career. I looked up to you as I was a newly Black dietitian in the eating disorder field and your message was different than the rest. You have helped me to critically think about how I am working with my clients and start working on changing the narrative. You have supported me and encouraged me and I am so appreciative. Thank you for this book. Thank you for seeing me. Grateful, thankful, blessed or whatever white people say. And thank you for the acknowledgement! My name is in a freaking book. I may have shed some tears on the drive home 😂🙌🏾 "This book is specifically for Black women. To end the pathologizing and problemetizing of our bodies, for us to stop placing ownership of whiteness onto our bodies." - excerpt from It's Always Been Ours Please go buy this book. No matter who you are or what you look like. We have needed this. #itsalwaysbeenours ID: 1: the cover of the book It's Always Been Ours 2: the open book of It's Always Been Ours and a cup of light brown coffee at the bottom 3: Jessica wearing a black top and orange coat and Brianna wearing a black fuzzy jacket and holding It's Always Been Ours pose for a picture 4: the window of Greenlight Bookstore 5: Brianna's name circled in the book with a heart next to it
