Eating disorders do NOT discriminate

I have spent time this week reading, learning and listening. But it doesn’t stop here! I still have a lot to learn.. ⁣
⁣
However I wanted to take the time to acknowledge that I have not represented the eating disorder community as fully as I should have with my #DumpTheScales campaign. ⁣
⁣
I talk a lot about how anorexia is always viewed stereotypically as a teenage middle class white girls illness and I know I haven’t done enough to challenge that stigma!⁣
⁣
Right now I am pledging to change this. I have begun the work but will continue over the next few weeks and months to amplify the voices of the black community and other under representative communities.⁣
⁣
As always I am here if anyone has any questions, thoughts or wants to speak ❤️⁣
