When the personal is political and the political is personal: Stress on our Health

This is part 2 of a conversation with Dalia Kinsey, RD, LD, SNS. We talk about becoming our authentic selves, how trauma impacts our physical and emotional health, and the need for inclusivity and intersectionality in public health messages. This is the most stressful year of our lives. We've got the pandemic going. We already knew about police brutality, but never have we been to a point where every time you turn on the television, every time you open Facebook, every time you look anywhere, you're seeing another black or brown body being abused. The trauma is massive and I don't see anyone really addressing it. And I feel like racism is what I know, that racism and all kinds of systemic abuse, these are public health crises. ~ Dalia Kinsey You can find out more about Dalia on her website.
