So excited to be speaking at the @bipoc.eatingdisorders conference with @the.lovelybecoming tomorrow at 4:30 CST! We will be discussing how attachment, safety, and boundaries can present in BIPOC with eating disorders. Can’t wait to see you there! Summer can be a tough time for many BIPOC individuals. Growing up, many of us are taught that the shade of our skin is tied to our worth. We are often told that people will find us more attractive if we have lighter skin. Excited to be presenting on #eatingdisorders in #SouthAsian communities this Tuesday at @william_and_mary. If you’re a student there or in the area, would love to see you there! ✨ Eid Mubarak to all my fellow Muslims! May your day be full of laughter, love, and light. ✨ Restricting yourself to one day of eating foods that diet culture labels as unhealthy promotes the restrict-binge cycle and fuels disordered eating patterns. Food plays a significant role in the celebration of Eid-al-Fitr. This is largely because the holiday marks the end of a month of fasting for Muslims.
