As a registered dietitian specializing in eating disorders, as a social justice activist, and as a woman with multiple marginalized identities, Jessica\\u2019s goal is to end this harm.\\n\\nIn this episode, CIIS Dean of Faculty Development, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at CIIS Danielle Drake has a conversation with Jessica that challenges us to rethink the politics of body liberation by centering the bodies of Black women in our cultural discussions of self-image, food, health, and wellness.\\n\\nThis episode was recorded during an in-person and live streamed event at California Institute of Integral Studies on March 8th, 2023.
