Let’s change the ObesityConversation together 🗣️ In our BeyondTheBody videos, women living with obesity share their journeys. In partnership with the ObesityAction Coalition through the Reclaim Your Wellness Campaign with blkwomenshealth.
Through our Reclaim Your Wellness campaign, HealthyWomen and the Black Women's Health Imperative in collaboration with the Obesity Action Coalition are changing the conversation around living with obesity.
More than 93 million Americans are living with obesity. Yet it’s often perceived by society and the healthcare community as the result of poor personal choices, rather than the complex, chronic disease that it is. Because of the stigma, bias and misinformation surrounding obesity, far too many people do not have ongoing access to the care they need.
Together, through the Reclaim Your Wellness Campaign with HealthyWomen and The Black Women’s Health Imperative, along with the Obesity Action Coalition, we are giving a voice to women living with obesity. As Kristal Hartman explained to HealthyWomen, “We have the chance to change the face of obesity and open people’s minds and hearts and understand this is a chronic disease.”
In our videos, meet Kristal and all six women who have opened up about their journeys living with obesity—from growing up with the stigma to adopting body positivity. We hope you’re inspired to advocate for yourself and for others.
