Percell Dugger, NYC-based wellness consultant, certified strength coach, and Nike running coach, joins Jillian to discuss equity in health and fitness. This week’s conversation is thoughtful and bold as we look at why people of color are disproportionately affected by obesity. How do we effectively advocate for health across racial lines? What happens when big corporations put profit over people and what can we do about it? Is messaging about being “healthy at any size” specifically targeting people of color, and is it helping or hurting? Plus, we take a hard look at cultural foods like frybread and soul food. While unhealthy, how can they be incorporated sparingly without robbing people of their culture and identity? And most importantly, having the patience and empathy to learn how to invite people in and communicate in ways that will get through with meaning.
