This is far past due, but I want to make my stance clear.

I am committed to creating a space that is as inclusive and equitable as possible. This means I pledge to continue doing my work to be aware of and break down my own privileges, be open and honest about my limitations as a privileged provider, and show up to your individual needs.

As an organization and individual, I have not done enough to create a space to nurture equity, inclusion, and liberation. I take responsibility and sincerely apologize for the harm I have caused in perpetuating narrow stereotypes of eating disorders and who receives care. I am committed to standing up to and dismantling white supremacist systems and cultures. I stand for the rights of all, regardless of race, ethnicity, culture, gender, age, size, physical and mental abilities, and sexuality.

Here’s what I’m doing to continue my anti-racism work:

Seeking out literature and media from BIPOC leaders
Paying BIPOC clinicians for supervision and consultation
Donating to groups that support folx in marginalized identities
Offering scholarships and reduced fee spots for folx in marginalized identities
Becoming credentialed with Medicare in Colorado to expand access to care
Supporting Black and POC businesses
Co-sponsoring anti-oppression trainings (led by BIPOC community members) for the Denver community through iaedp (International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals)
Centering and listening to BIPOC voices
Paying for and attending anti-racist trainings
Financially donating to and facilitating BIPOC dietetic students to promote diversity in the profession

I look forward to continuing the conversation and hearing your thoughts. Please, please reach out if you’d like to talk or have questions. Rooting for all of us, always.
