Welcome back to the podcast, I'm Jamie Baynes. Today's guest is Faye Knightly of The Sisterhood of the Black Pen. I met Faye through one of this podcasts favorite people, Gloria Lucas. Faye sent me a message through Instagram and said that she'd like to talk about her writer's group, The Sisterhood of the Black Pen. Obviously I said yes because everyone knows that writers are some of my favorite people, so here she is. So, sit back, relax and let me know what you think of our conversation .After you give it a listen, tell me what you think of Faye. I'll be the first to admit that I've never read an anthology, nor have I read much horror. Recently, that is. When I started reading fiction novels, I was devouring King, Koontz and other horrior-ish authors. As I got older, I started reading more in the thriller genre and historical  non-fiction. But after chatting with Faye, I'm going to pick up the first anthology and see how her contributing authors handle some horror around the holidays.Check out Faye's link tree here

In this episode, you will learn about… ‣ the origins of harm reduction and how this framework translates to eating disorder care ‣ Address common pushback to harm reduction such as the idea that it is enabling the eating disorder or giving up on recovery ‣ Discuss how purity culture, white saviorism, and colonialism play a role in resistance to harm reduction and current treatment approaches . . We will also cover… ‣ Why Gloria's new motto is “i don't care” ‣ Caring for yourself while doing work that serves others ‣ Eating disorder treatment in the BIPOC community . . Notes: ‣ 13:31: For me, the narrative of “recovered” largely exists around individuals who recover into thin bodies and hold privileges of access to high quality treatment, believability surrounding diagnosis and family validation, etc. I also believe the term 'recovered' doesn't create space for how eating disorders can help people cope with marginalized identities and access care due to proximity of body size to privilege. . .

Welcome back to the podcast, I'm Jamie Baynes. Todays guest is a wonderfully frequent flyer to the show, author and mom, Gloria Lucas.

Additionally, Gloria and I have more collaboration in the works, so make sure you stay tuned for what comes next. I've said it before and I'm going to say it again. Social media can get a bad reputation as being a place for bullying, hatred, etc, but it can also be a place where people from different backgrounds and experiences can find each other and try to make the world a better place with their creations and collaborations. Never give up on people and ignore the people who profit on hate.Check out Gloria's blurb below:Gloria Lucas paints the portrait of a young widow in her debut novel, How Deep the Ocean, beginning one year after her husband's suicide. Riddled with guilt and grief, Mia is struggling with the day-to-day of being a single, working mother. Reluctantly, she agrees to a night out dancing with friends, where she meets Sean, a man with which she feels an instant connection. Her friends celebrate the new romance and urge her to follow her heart. But Mia isn't sure a broken heart is reliable. Publication date: Nov. 15, 2022Preorder link: https://tinyurl.com/42fha3suWebsite: glorialucas.comIf you or anyone you know are contemplating suicide, please call 988. Or visit: https://988lifeline.org/Crisis Text Line: Text START to 741-741Veterans: call 988, option 1Text 838255LGBTQ+ specific support: https://www.thetrevorproject.org/Call: (866) 488-7386Trans Lifeline: (877) 565-8860Take care of one another, and as always, thanks for listening.

How to Stay in Your Lane to Support Diversity and Inclusion An interview with Dr. Joy Cox, PhD, on tapping into the strength of community and genuine relationships to understand and address systemic oppression. Curt and Katie talk with Dr. Joy about intersectionality, the harmful stories we can tell ourselves about people who are different from us, and what we can do to best support diversity and inclusion in all the spaces we inhabit. We also address why it is important to do some of this work privately (rather than working it out publicly through statements on social media). It's time to reimagine therapy and what it means to be a therapist. To support you as a whole person and a therapist, your hosts, Curt Widhalm and Katie Vernoy talk about how to approach the role of therapist in the modern age. Interview with Dr. Joy Cox, PhD Dr. Joy Cox is a body justice advocate using her skill set in research and leadership to foster social change through the promotion of fat acceptance and diversity and inclusion. With 37 years living as a fat, Black cisgendered woman and 7+ years of professional experience under her belt, Dr. Cox draws on her own experiences and skill set to amplify the voices of those most marginalized in society, bringing attention to matters of intersectionality addressing race, body size, accessibility, and “health.” Joy has been featured on several podcasts and media productions such as Food Pysch with Christy Harrison, Nalgona Positivity Pride with Gloria Lucas, Fat Women of Color with Ivy Felicia, and Huffington Post's piece, “Everything You Know About Obesity is Wrong.” She also just authored her first book, Fat Girls in Black Bodies: Creating Communities of Our Own. She is the voice of an overcomer, looking to propel others into a place of freedom designed by their desires. In this episode we talk about: What Dr. Joy is putting out into the world Intersectionality and bias, stigma How to take an intersectional approach The importance of genuine relationships in understanding others Discussing the panel discussion in the conference when addressing learning about others The harm of putting work on individuals with lived experience Why and when you should pay for expert consultation The challenge of googling to learn (when it works and when to seek expert guidance) The importance of saying no when someone is asking you to become a spokesperson The exponential impact of intersectionality of marginalized identities How intersectional identities compound to create narratives Anything that is heavily stigmatized in society – racism is not far behind it Knowledge without learning to implement Why you should find your lane and move accordingly How to identify what you can and should do to support inclusion The importance of identifying where to do the work, it doesn't have to be public Why individuals need to learn themselves, understand their heart, and identify who they are Getting it right is better than getting it fast Having the important conversations and checking in with the people who matter The unreasonable expectation to have an opinion on everything The benefits of community with each person staying in their lane Creating community that includes all people and the strength that provides Pushing back on the idea that everyone has to be able to do all of the roles We need to change how we think and we need to change how we feel to uncover more space than we knew was available for all people Our Generous Sponsors: SimplePractice Running a private practice is rewarding, but it can also be demanding.

Gloria Lucas decided to name her mental health awareness and body positivity organization after the Spanish slang term for a big booty - nalgona. She began Nalgona Positivity Pride after her own eating disorder struggles left her feeling like professional resources ignored her experience as a Xicana with indigenous heritage. Rather, it all felt geared towards white Americans. What about people of color? Is recovery not for everyone?

The Mom Bod Series In this episode we talk about recovery from disordered eating and diet culture through the lens of unearned privilege. Healing requires access to resources of finances, time, insurance, and community support which can be challenging for many humans and an obstacle to achieving recovery and food freedom. We unpack the stereotypes of eating disorders as well as identify how stigmatizations and lack of privilege impede the identification of the need for help and the ability to access help as well as increase isolation for those suffering. We also interview Gloria Lucas, founder of Nalgona Positivity Pride, on how she came into her work of creating a platform and resources for people of color who are struggling with troubled eating, poor body-image, and access to services due to low-income. No person is exempt from cultural pressures and all people need to explore their relationship with food, so this episode is an important reminder that everyone has a story. Our takeaway question is a takeaway challenge: check out Nalgona Positivity Pride’s website and Etsy shop and, if you are able, support her advocacy work with a shout out or purchase!   Gloria Lucas https://www.nalgonapositivitypride.com @nalgonapositivitypride Etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/NalgonaPositiveShop   Connect with the Mom Genes community: www.momgenesthepodcast.com IG: @momgenesthepodcast FB: Mom Genes The Podcast group

This week I’m talking with Marcella Raimondo, a psychologist in Oakland, California who has been working in the field of multicultural issues in eating disorders for nearly 25 years. She has recovered herself from anorexia nervosa over 20 years ago. We have a high energy exchange about living in a world where certain foods, like sugar and dairy, are highly demonized. We also talk about how frustrating it is to be around folks who constantly want to talk about how much better they feel now that they’ve eliminated “x” food from their diet. Marcella talks about how often she is the only person in her client’s lives who are telling them that it is ok to do things like eating ice cream in public. We also talk de-stigmatizing eating for emotional reasons and how to deal with diet or “health” talk (which is often a stand-in for diet talk) with friends and family. Marcella trains in Kajukenbo at Hand to Hand Self Defense Center in Oakland. She holds a first degree black belt and enjoys the exploratory path her training gives her. Her recovery and her martial arts training inspires her dedication to multicultural body nurturance and community celebration. Show Highlights The recovery process is about removing layer after layer We live in a world that keeps a disordered eating mindset pretty intact Letting the fantasy go that one day your body will be smaller leads to liberation and relief, although society will continue to tell you that something is wrong with your body “I am addicted to sugar,” is such a common thing she hears  Even if someone is eating an adequate amount of food, many times there is no enjoyment (it’s still very diet-y, or someone may stick to “safe” foods) Your body and mind respond to what feels like deprivation Getting curious about how food helps with emotions We all eat emotionally and always will Colonization made indigenous food “bad” and the colonizer’s food “good” Using the word “crap” to describe someone’s food is problematic when that may be what’s accessible, affordable, and familiar to them If someone keeps talking about how they good they feel if they’ve cut out a certain food it doesn’t sound like liberation  When people are depriving themselves of what they really want and need social approval for all the hard work they are doing All the negativity and energy behind processed food is classist: for some folks, this is their food Putting children on diets sets them up for a lifetime of a problematic relationship to their body Thin privilege allowed Marcella to experiment with different foods in her recovery without experiencing backlash from others Recognizing her own privilege in recovery which makes the road so much easier Links & Resources For more information about Marcella's trainings, go to marcellaedtraining.com Gloria Lucas, Nalgona Positivity Pride ASDAH

Gloria Lucas is a champion for eating disorder awareness and body positivity and the owner and founder of Nalgona Positivity Pride (NPP). NPP is not your regular body positive project. NPP is a Xicana-Brown*-Indigenous project that focuses on intersectional body positivity, eating disorders awareness, and cultural affirmation. NPP was started in 2014 by Gloria in Southern California with the goal of relating historical trauma, social oppression, and eating disorders. NPP believes that racism, colonialism, ableism, homophobia, (etc.,) are all factors that lead to violent relationships with food and the phenomenon of destitute body image in communities of color. NPP offers education, social media content, support groups, and an Etsy store.   In this episode, Gloria and I discuss: the racism that runs through the body positive movement, the issues women of color experience that can contribute to struggles with food and body image and how people in other groups can support the work that women are already doing to help women find peace with food and their bodies.    *In this context, Brown refers to the mixed descendants of the indigenous from (what is known today as) America.   Links mentioned in this episode: Gloria on Instagram: Nalgona Positivity Pride Support Gloria's work on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/nalgonapositivitypride Gloria's Etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/NalgonaPositiveShop A Hunger So Wide and So Deep by Becky Thompson
