The Body Activism Podcast

15/12/2021

Listen this week to an incredibly powerful conversation with Dr. Omekongo Dibinga, an international speaker, trilingual poet, TV talk show host, rapper, and professor of Inter-cultural Communication at American University, where he also serves as a faculty affiliate to the Antiracist Research & Policy Center. Dr. Dibinga and Serena talk about the pressure to look a certain way, especially Dr. Dibinga’s experiences as a Black man having grown up in an underserved, low-income community. Hear about his personal relationships with his children and how he manages conversations around body image and health with them. This chat is a real, nitty-gritty and down-deep conversation in which Dr. Dibinga and Serena challenge each other, learn from each other, and uplift each other in a way that people don’t often do publicly. The Body Activism Podcast is especially thankful for Dr. Dibinga’s willingness to chat and collaborate on this episode.

Join The Body Activism Podcast this week with guest Ivy Felicia, Certified Holistic Wellness Coach and Body Image Expert. Ivy talks about the origins of body image work and her personal story living in a Fat, Black body, including the adversity she faced in her teens which was the foundation that led to feeling disconnected to her body. Ivy’s uniqueness comes partially from her willingness to share her lived experience which is what truly gives her the unique insight and knowledge that positions her as a respected thought leader in the body image and wellness industries. Ivy works with people through an innovative system she created called Body Relationship Coaching™ that combines weight-neutral, holistic wellness coaching and radical self-care to help women shift their mindsets and perspectives so that they can achieve sustainable changes in their relationship with their body.
