I'm logging in to the 3rd Annual BIPoC Eating Disorder Conference! Will you be there?

In solidarity with Palestine and with Indigenous Peoples of present and time immemorial, I am part of a community who acknowledges the violence of settler colonialism, racism, genocide; and the ways these fuel eating disorders. https://www.nalgonapositivitypride.com/palestine-statement

----

I thank you our Elders and Ancestors past - present - future...

//including BIPoC, Jewish and Palestinian, Muslim, Latine, Fat*, Q***r, Transgender, Inters*x, LGBT, Neurodivergent, Disabled Elders and Ancestors //

//including those who "still have accents", those who are in prison, those who are mis-using substances, those who are below the poverty line, those in acacdemia, those without access to healthcare, those who have been "deported" //

//including those who do or don't speak their family language, those who have melanated skin or wavy (Waray) hair, those healing from s*x, enjoying s*x, reclaiming their s*xuality, and s*x workers //

//including those who are religious, animistic, hermits, social media enthusiasts, TikTokers, making music, married, unmarried, those wearing a mask, those who are immunocompromised//

//including those who feel removed or distant or shame about their "story" or existence//

//including those surviving, in fear, fighting for borders and/or for their land//
.. Elders and Ancestors past - present - future
who carry the traditions of storytelling, community, belonging, and liberation practice. Looking forward to seeing you there.

*fat: a neutral descriptor as used by the fat activist community.

*I limit using medicalized terms like ‘ob*se’ and ‘overw*ight’ as I acknowledge these terms were created to pathologize fat bodies, with roots in racism and specifically anti-Blackness.
