How we nourish ourselves—especially during times of instability and crisis—can either fuel or hinder our ability to fully engage in collective action.
This session invites participants to explore the connections between body liberation and the diverse aspects of nourishment, which are often overlooked in mainstream conversations about food and nutrition. Through guided discussions, reflection exercises, and interactive activities, attendees will be equipped to start their journey of reclaiming their relationship to nourishment, drawing on ancestral wisdom and foodways as a pathway to body liberation.
By the end of the session, attendees will be able to:
1.) Understand the connection between body liberation and celebrating ancestral foodways and how they contribute to historical resilience during times of crisis.
3.) Evaluate the impact of colonization and racialized food hierarchies on body image and eating practices, discussing strategies for reclaiming ancestral food traditions as a form of resistance and self-care.
4.) Demonstrate the power of ancestral foodways through personal storytelling, intentionally linking food to a sense of shared cultural identity, community, and personal resilience.
