I am a SHW Black &amp; fat-positive powerlifter. I currently hold a master&#x27;s degree in social work (MSW) &amp; am a licensed masters social worker (LMSW) and am under clinical supervision for licensure as a clinical social worker &amp; I work in a community mental health center as a children’s therapist &amp; supervisor/team lead. I practice an anti-diet philosophy &amp; from a liberationist framework &amp; believe you can be active without striving for intentional weight loss. I intuitively eat and believe that food is more than calories and fuel: food is culture, food is love, food is memories, etc. I believe freedom can be found in movement &amp; food but to do that we have to decolonize the way we view the to. WE ARE ENOUGH AS WE ARE &amp; should be affirmed as such. My work is towards liberation(Black, body, fat liberation etc) as a whole from all the systems of oppression that are keeping us in shackles. We deserve FREEDOM!All presentations, workshops and panels will be recorded and will be made available post-summit.
