"I still feel like that... nobody came looking." This raw, honest moment dives into the deep-seated trauma of self-blame often carried by adoptees.

What if understanding could be the bridge that changes everything?

"Let's just agree to disagree." "Everyone just needs to calm down." Sound familiar?

"This would be great for my neighbor to hear." Ever had that thought? It's so much easier to see what others need to work on than it is to look at ourselves.

The idea that "we're all mixed" sounds inclusive, right? But what if it's actually doing harm by erasing people?

Our bodies tell stories, but they don't always tell the whole story of who we are.

Anti-racism isn't a finish line we cross. It’s a lifelong journey of learning, unlearning, and looking inward - for individuals, communities and nations.

Healing from an eating disorder isn't a solo journey. It often takes a village.

How can we build stronger, more understanding relationships across our differences?  

My co-edited book, Antiblackness and the Stories of Authentic Allies, was created to help answer that question. It's a guide for anyone looking for a path forward to build bridges and support Black communities.

Has the social construct of race truly evolved? Or are we just dealing with a modern version of a centuries-old hierarchy?

Have you ever felt like people look at you, but they don’t truly see you? We're going deep into that feeling today.

Beyond just community, what's the one thing Dr. Mazella Fuller wants you to take away from her chapter in the book, Anti-Blackness and the Stories of Authentic Allies? It's all about centering otherness and being intentional!

Five years ago, I stepped onto the TEDx stage to talk about a subject that lies at the very heart of my work: intergenerational trauma. How do we find the gifts hidden within the legacies of trauma we inherit?

Is intentionality and equity important?

My guest on the Inclusive Minds Podcast and one of the authors of Antiblackness and the Stories of Authentic Allies, Dr. Mazella Fuller gives a resounding "YES!"

A Black woman's struggle to access eating disorder treatment is often misinterpreted by providers as a 'lack of motivation.' The reality is far more complex.

When Black people and other people of color voice their experiences with discrimination in the workplace, they are often dismissed as "complainers." But what is the real cost of this invalidation?

What happens when the healthcare system's image of image of who gets an eating disorder doesn't include you? We touch on the stereotypes, the misdiagnoses, and the fight for truly inclusive treatment
