#amplifymelanatedvoices @laurenleavellfitness Toda

#amplifymelanatedvoices @laurenleavellfitness Today we want to make sure you are following and supporting Lauren, and that you hear her thoughts on how diet culture is a stumbling block for social justice work. She is a leader in dismantling racism in wellness and promoting inclusive fitness! Swipe, read below and visit her account! (And as a reminder, remember to ask for consent before posting someone else’s work): “CW: diet talk⁣⁣ I realized this the other day while talking to my dear friend Asher (@nonnormativebodyclub). I was trying to figure out why I was being so affected by recent events compared to others.

Killing black people isn't new.

Then I remembered, I used to be obsessively dieting. I was consumed with food and exercise, so much so that I was numb to humanity. I couldn't see past myself and my plate….and MyFitnessPal.

BUT NOW...I am fed. I am recovering. I am nourishing myself exactly as I am. And I have the energy to fight for this.⁣⁣ There are plenty of well written quotes on how dieting is oppressive so I won't try to match those. But it is worth saying, protesting, voting, learning, and being a good friend are all much easier when you are accepting of your body and treating it with respect.”

#amplifymelanatedvoices @mads_murph @itsfatiii put together an AMAZING list of information and resources on HOW YOU CAN HELP stand up for Black lives now. We know our be.comers believe in a better world, and this is a great resource to find ways to make it happen. As @mads_murph put it, “ACTION speaks louder than reposts. For those looking for resources, @itsfatiii and I compiled a BLM resource guide of community bailout funds, educational material for allies, opportunities for healing for my Black brothers and sisters, prominent activist voices to #diversifyyourfeed, and more. Don’t just tell us your stand with us. SHOW us that you stand with us. Link in bio. Feel free to share.” You can see some of what’s in the doc in the slides here, and have the doc for you to check out and share in our stories. #blacklivesmatter

#amplifymelanatedvoices You may remember Chelsea a

#amplifymelanatedvoices You may remember Chelsea aka @robinhillbrand from March (when we raffled off some of her AMAZING jackets to support mental health) AND from our original be.come photoshoot. This long-time be.comer inspires the hell out of us, makes jackets we want to wear 24/7, and is just a true badass.

Chelsea's words from the first image of the jacket, "I am a mixed race woman. My mother is white & my father is black. I grew up never thinking that my story was good enough to be considered a black one. That my experiences weren’t valid. That I had no right to speak on issues within the black community. That I was both too white & too black, yet not white or black enough at any given time. Among a lot of internal work, research & self-acceptance were documentaries & podcasts & black artists that led me to where I am today. This quote is one from someone that if you aren’t following them, you need to be. (I’ll tag more in the photo as well) - Thank you to @amandaseales for these words. They hit me to the core. They validated my own experiences & told me that my experience was in fact a black experience. That I could be a part of a community that I never felt part of. The power that gave me is unexplainable. The importance of making black & brown people feel really seen & heard is unparalleled. Right now the black community needs to be seen & heard & protected."

For #BlackOutTuesday we want to show our solidarit

For #BlackOutTuesday we want to show our solidarity AND #amplifymelanatedvoices. In this post we are highlighting Black voices who are body/food therapists, dietitians and instructors. Follow these folks! Pay these folks! The wellness space has a long way to go, but these are some of the leaders we should be hearing:
@decolonizing_fitness: Trans writer & educator and long-time leader calling for fair inclusion and diverse representation in the wellness space.
@wolfmedicinemagic: Queer, magical breathwork/yoga/barre instructor and badass.
@disruptdietculture: Therapist who navigates the non-diet space.
@blackandembodied: Promoter of fat liberation and racial healing, licensed mental health therapist.
@encouragingdietitian: Weight-inclusive, self-proclaimed nutrition nerd and anti-diet registered dietitian. #blacklivesmatter #blackvoicesmatter #blackhealingmatters
