I never post content like this 😳. But recently, I have been thinking so much about this - where, people will judge the legitimacy of the work I do, because of my being a full figured woman.

Though I get that - so much of us, have grown up understanding health to look one way, just as we understand beauty as one way - but, the truth is, you can be a full figured person, and be more healthier and well then someone who is small figured and ‘ideal’ looking.

The topic of fatphobia, is one I cannot wait to speak to more.

Consider this, the beginning to a larger conversation I can’t wait to continue having with you.

Leaving it here for now! 💁🏽‍♀️

I'm surprised that so many people barely glance at what comes out of their bodies in the toilet. 😳 - honestly, I ALWAYS encourage my client to look before they flush, because thissss teaches us so much about ourselves.

There was a time when back in the day, we would understand the health of people's bodies through their urine. Crazy right?

If you found this interesting, or want to learn more, let's connect!

If food is life—the currency of our nourishment, the information for our cells, our connection to our culture and identity and all aspects of the natural world— we need to consider, what is the true cost of food?

The cost is deeper than the face value cost that is scanned on the barcode at the grocery store. Instead of remaining a source of nourishment, food has been transformed into a commodity. This has lead to rising prices, food insecurity and social instability. The food system is badly broken and since we need food to survive this is an important subject to explore.

The fact is the better the source of nutrients when it arrives to your cells, the better your health will be. So ask yourself, where does the food you choose to fuel your body comes from?

This is the conversation that we will be having this month on this platform among other things.

Happy Nutrition month!

Today we are raised to think of food as a kind of enriched fuel, a source of calories and a carrier for vitamins which helps prevent disease. In contrast, our ancestors understood food as a holy thing and eating was considered a blessed act and a form of self caret. This was evident in their songs and prayers which reflected their belief, that in consuming food each of us comes in contact with the interconnected web of life.

Join me Tomorrow for an IG Live conversation at 2:00 pm EST with Eden Hagos the founder of .co and . Her platforms explore food and culture through a black lens. Our conversation will be on how black people can include food as an intentional part of their self care. We will explore healthy way of living where our food, values, attitudes, and mindful actions become part our daily routine to balance our bodies and maintain our health.
