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.

I struggle with the same situation; hardly anyone is BIPOC in Idaho, and it's hard to find people who just "get you" (as opposed to having to learn from you in order to help you). I've met some really friendly non-BIPOC people though, and if they are willing to learn, I'm cool with that. But it is still nonetheless taxing sometimes.

Thank you for sharing!
