The following podcast is a deer media production.

Hi, I'm Wendy.

And I'm Jess and you're listening to the Food Heaven Podcast.

Your online resource for inclusive and accessible wellness.

Y'all, I am thrilled about this week's episode.

We're doing something a little different.

We actually recorded this episode a few weeks ago with our girl Mikey.

And this was for the episode that was already published called Public Health has a weight problem.

And while we were recording that episode, we kind of went off on a tangent a little bit.

And we're speaking about this whole concept of decolonizing your diet,

of veganism as a pathway to social justice, especially in black and brown communities.

How's like, okay, we have to publish this as a mini episode.

For those of you not familiar with Mikey, she is a doctoral student and writer from the Bronx.

And her interests are at the intersection of fat studies and scholarship on race and racism.

We also did an episode with her called When Anti-Diet Dietitians Become Problematic.

She is one of our favorite guests, like always blowing our mind,

always pushing us to think about things that we hadn't thought about before,

or like in a different way.

It's so funny because I feel like we've made so many friends recording the podcast

during, especially during this pandemic. Social interaction has been so, so tough on everyone.

And so yeah, I love that we get to talk to all of our virtual friends each week

and kind of pick their brain on what they think about all of the things.
