Dreading the January onslaught of messages demanding that you “fix” your body so it conforms to an unrealistic ideal based on racism?

Interested in hearing from under-represented voices in public health that share different messages?

Announcing the Shared Stories Society!

Starting January 16 join me online Friday afternoons from 3-4:30pm Pacific Time for “media club”. This program invites participants to explore under represented voices in public health. We will examine books, zines, and more across the year. Each session will include time for grounding and self-reflection in addition to group discussion of the materials.

January through February we’ll be reading Aubrey Gordon’s book, “What We Don’t Talk About When We Talk About Fat”, and learn how anti-fat bias harms not only fat people, but thin people as well.

While this is listed as being for adults 60+, if you’re an adult younger than 60 and want to participate, please sign up anyway! We’ve officially expanded it to 40+, but if this is what you need and over 20, consider joining, just know the conversation may be biased to post-menopausal people.

🌌 Enter the spiral with Hana K.'s debut on Metapsychosis. Her piece, "I Tried to Grasp It, But Only Could Breathe It," blurs the lines between madness and insight: "I wasn’t looking for meaning. It arrived anyway, uninvited and absolute, filling every crevice of ordinary life with signals." #Metapsychosis #NewVoices #BeyondTheVeil
