Cracks in the Wellness World
Recently I created a series of videos on Instagram which I called "Cracks in the Wellness World", where I share my experience of the harm in the wellness industry and how I now advocate for a community-centered approach to wellness that includes the benefits of medical science, and I hope you’ll take a look.
I grew up unvaccinated in the white wellness world. I LOVED (and still love much of) the tools and support I experienced in that world. And yet, as my life experience began to include diverse perspectives, the harm of the wellness industry became unavoidable.
I’ve mentioned some of this in previous posts, but this is the most I’ve spoken directly about the harm that I not only witnessed, but caused.
It’s also an opportunity to hear more about my personal journey and all the little bits of information that eventually made the illusion of perfection in the wellness world come crumbling down.
My hope in sharing it is that we can come to appreciate both wellness practices and medical science as well as support true collective wellness instead of wellness of a privileged few.
