🤯😊😩😭

I don't know about you, but I've been feeling extra drained, a little unmotivated, but inspired all at the same time over the past few months.

A lot of my work in dietetics has been focused on health equity, food justice, and addressing anti-Black racism (ABR), and although that work is extremely important and necessary, it can be draining from time to time.

However, today, I was reminded of how far I (we) have come in this work to move dietetics into a new and more equitable direction.

And this is just the beginning! Swipe for some highlights from the past year.

It's my one year anniversary of developing and launching the Culture, Equity, Diversity, and Race in Dietetics (CEDAR) course, and to show my appreciation & to celebrate this wonderful moment, I am offering a $100 OFF discount for the course. This is the biggest discount that will ever be available for the course. Use the code: anniversary to get this discount!

This promotion will end on September 25th, 2021. The price will go up once the course re-opens, so definitely utilize this promotion if you are able. The $100 OFF promo is available on the payment plan as well. Click here for the 2 month payment plan.

The great thing is that if you enroll now, you get access to all updates and changes to the course when they are available.

I am grateful for this community that has been created and I'm excited for all the good to come!! Thank you for your support :)

I'm looking forward to being a panelist for the conversation on 'Preserving African and Caribbean Food Traditions' during @blackfoodie.co week!

Our food doesn't become superfoods just because they become popular among white folks in North America. These foods have been superfoods that have nourished communities for centuries!

Join us next week for this conversation exploring topics such as:

Should traditional African foods like baobab and teff be commercialized for broader consumption, or should the Black community keep these incredible foods a cultural section?

Join me and these fantastic panelists @chefbashir, @beequammie, and @kitchenbutterfly on September 20th at 7 pm EST to discuss these kinds of questions and more as part of BLACK FOODIE Week! This will be an excellent conversation, so grab a FREE ticket to this live session at www.blackfoodie.co/black-foodie-week and come support me! Also, in the link in my bio.

September 19-25th is BLACK FOODIE Week, a digital celebration of Black food culture in Toronto! Join @blackfoodie.co for lively cook-along, inspiring panel events, and a one-of-a-kind live marketplace this Sunday.

Food for thought. I’m working on creating more

Food for thought.

I’m working on creating more tools and resources for BIPOC communities experiencing disordered eating, with an emphasis on those who have experienced food insecurity.

With so many people in North America living in or previously living in poverty, there is likely so many people struggling to find balance when it comes to food and eating.

I invite you to think about your life experiences and how this may contribute to how you feel about yourself and how you feel about food in your present life.

When was the last time you checked in on your relationship with food?

Although you may no longer be food insecure, the impact of that period of your life is long-lasting, and you may be living through it in how you view food or your body.

Remember, food insecurity comes because of an income issue, something that is often out of your control.

Wherever you are on your journey, it is essential to consider how past life experiences have contributed to where you are at right now. Healing your relationship with food is truly a radical act of self love and something you deserve to experience.

Healing your relationship with food, starts by hea

Healing your relationship with food, starts by healing your relationship with yourself.

What have you been doing to work on your relationship with yourself lately?

To me, health and wellness is so much more than nutrients, going to the gym, or green juice. A lot of it has to do with how I feel inside.

That means I have to take things one day at a time, and even one step at a time during those more challenging periods in my life.

How about you?

I had so many plans for myself this summer and had a to do list that was way too long 🙃. But what I needed was to make time to rest and rejuvenate. It’s not necessarily what I wanted for myself, but it’s what I needed.

How often do you stop and ask yourself… “What do I need ?”

🙃 I don’t know about you, but I’ve felt like I’ve needed a reset.

I don’t like the feeling of not being present in my day-to-day life. I find that I get to a place where I have all these unrealistic expectations and feel terrible when I’m unable to meet them. It’s so easy to get there because of the hustle and bustle of everyday life and the constant pressure from society and the media.

Whenever I get here, I find that I cope by using my body as a punching bag. I don’t nourish myself properly or discover that I’m very critical of myself.

I’ve been reading @thebodyisnotanapology by @sonyareneetaylor, and WOW, it’s helping me to reframe my thinking.

There is a part of the book where Sonya references a poem by Nayyirah Waheed @nayyirah.waheed which says…

and I said to my body
‘I want to be your friend.’

Wow. Game changer.

Nowadays, when I get into that negative thinking, I repeat that to myself and suddenly feel much calmer. It’s important to remember that we deserve the love, care, and compassion that we would offer to a friend.

Some things I’ve been working on include:

* ⁃ shifting my mindset to move from scarcity to abundance
* ⁃ Strengthening my morning routine (and making it a priority)
* ⁃ Honouring my hunger cues

What have you been doing this summer to connect with yourself, reset, or strengthen your relationship with food?

Food freedom is all about being honest with your food habits and trusting yourself around food and eating. ⠀
⠀
Using this mindset helps me understand my eating behaviours better and allows me to enjoy food free from guilt or shame. Also, this way of thinking fosters a sense of empowerment and has helped improve my relationship with food.⠀
