About the Event
MAR Shift presents... Anti-Fat, Anti-Black, Anti-You
The Diet Culture origin story (and how we have been taught to hate ourselves).
This engaging 1-hour workshop is facilitated virtually by Vinny Welsby (they/them), Founder of Weight Inclusive Consulting and Fierce Fatty, co-presented by Kerry Cavers (she/her), Founder of Moms Against Racism. With humor and insight, Vinny leads participants through an illuminating exploration of the origins of diet culture and anti-fat bias, revealing their deep ties to white supremacy and systemic oppression.
With thoughtful vulnerability, this workshop encourages participants to reflect on how diet culture and anti-fat bias impact mental well-being and self-perception. Learn strategies to unlearn these harmful narratives, foster self-love, and live shame-free. By reframing your relationship with your body and food, you’ll take another step forward in your anti-racism journey, leaving this session feeling inspired, emboldened, and ready to take action.
