“Why Is Everything About Race/Ethnicity?”

Because of the Lack of Cultural Inclusion and Tolerance.

I went to a Nutritionist Last Year and Did Not like the Experience.

I was Recently Referred to a Nutritionist Again. I was also Recommended Grief Counseling, Which I Declined.

I Did Not Schedule an Appointment with a Nutritionist Because None of the Nutritionist in My Network are BIPOC. It’s Counterproductive, Triggering and a Waste of Paying a Co-pay.

The Barriers and Reluctance: Our Cultures are Not the Same, Each Culture has Different Frameworks, Approaches, Beliefs and Values.

This Applies to Many Areas
•Grief/Loss/Coping with Grief/Loss
•Beauty Standards
•Weight Management
•Mental Illnesses/Therapy
•Dealing with Stress
•Health
The List Goes On.

•It’s Not Valid Giving a Narrative, That Resources and Services are Available but People Will Not Participate. There Are People Not Interested in Assimilation.
