One of the things I struggled with as I was beginning my personal wellness journey has been moving away from the cultural traditions that are encompassed in the food we eat as Black people. It was hard. Especially when family didn't completely understand.
I LOVE my culture. I LOVE my people and I would be remiss if I didn't speak on the issues that plague our community when it comes to our nutrition and wellness.
I love us so much to talk about the hard things because we are worthy of living our best most healthy and happy lives. But first we have to recognize that so much of the things we experience with our health are effects of a lifestyle our ancestors were forced to live.
We are not there anymore. We have access to more information, more resources and we have an opportunity to shift the health of our community for generations.
So if you are part of the Black community or love someone that is...or just even want to educate yourself on the issues that impact Black Americans to better understand and learn...jump in and take a listen, i'll be here all month discussing these topics.
Love youuu!
