Stereotypes can make it difficult for people to realize they have an eating disorder. Unfortunately, because of things like size, race, and/or background, certain groups of people are less likely to receive diagnosis/treatment for their eating disorder.

For those who observe #Lent, remember not to let #dietculture or weight loss concerns take over. The season doesn't need to include starting a new diet, giving up a food, or trying to make yourself smaller. Take care of yourselves. 💙 #AshWednesday #edawareness #edaweek

Her work highlighted the ways in which racism negatively affected Black students' mental health and self worth. #Blackmentalhealthmatters #BlackwomeninSTEM #BlackHistoryMonth #BHM2022
