Summary

Today I'm sharing a girlfriend jam with the wonderful Kerri Kelly. As a community organizer and author of the brand new book American Detox, her goal is to make well being accessible and inclusive for all. 

We chat about the dark side of the western wellness industry: the ways it excludes minorities, appropriates practices, and exploits vulnerabilities. Then, Kerri guides us on how each of us can make positive change.
