Summary:
"Become the healthiest and happiest version of yourself using
wellness
tools designed specifically for BIPOC and LGBTQ folks. The lack of BIPOC and LGBTQ representation in the fields of health and nutrition has led to repeated racist and unscientific biases that negatively impact the very people they purport to help. Many representatives of the increasingly popular
body
positivity movement actually add to the
body
image concerns of queer people of color by emphasizing cisgender, heteronormative, and Eurocentric standards of beauty. Few mainstream
body
positivity resources address the intersectional challenges of anti-Blackness, colorism, homophobia, transphobia, and generational trauma that are at the root of our struggles with
wellness
and self-care. In
Decolonizing
Wellness
: A
QTBIPOC-Centered
Guide
to
Escape
the
Diet
Trap
,
Heal
Your
Self-Image
, and
Achieve
Body
Liberation
, registered dietitian and nutritionist Dalia Kinsey will help readers to improve their health without restriction, eliminate stress around food and eating, and turn food into a source of pleasure instead of shame. A road map to
body
acceptance and self-care for queer people of color,
Decolonizing
Wellness
is filled with practical eating practices, journal prompts, affirmations, and mindfulness tools. Ultimately,
decolonizing
nutrition is essential not only to our personal well-being but to our community’s well-being and to the possibility of greater social transformation. This is a
body
positivity and food freedom book for marginalized folks. It’s a
guide
to throwing out food rules in exchange for internal cues and adopting a self-love-based approach to eating. It’s about learning to trust our bodies and turning mealtime into a time for celebration and healing. It’s also a love letter to those of us who struggle with our bodies and a gentle plea for us to do the work it takes to accept, trust, and love ourselves."--Publisher.
