  3. The Time I Got Into A Physical Fight With My Abusive Grandfather

    The Time I Got Into A Physical Fight With My Abusive Grandfather

    It is unfortunate-the abuses that others like myself had been forced to deal with as children. Then be expected to function as positive, contributing members of society. Most people in this position contribute to society by recycling their abuses & recreating the next generation of hurting children and adults. I have refused to continue trashing myself or others the way that pattern predicts I should. It is why I refuse silence. This is what breaking the chains looks like for me. Join me as I recount this portion of my story.

    Black Women And Bulimia

    Where are all the Black Women and Women of color with bulimia and other eating disorders?   As we heal,  we do so out loud and need to hear from each other.  In this episode, I discuss my struggles with bulimia-what I've learned and in some places where I'm stuck. While I welcome everyone in on this conversation-my focus is on women of color and specifically Black Women because I am sharing my story from my point of view and as I have looked for my reflection in the stories of women with eating disorders-I have found VERY FEW are from Black Women.
