Black womens health = Fitness edition

Black women have a different relationship when it comes to fitness compared to every other group of women, because of racial discrimination and laws that were put in place so Black women couldn't be a stay home wife. We as a collective were born to work for other people, which had created long-term harmful effects when it comes to weight management. As a collective, we are unhealthy. This isn't a bashing fest or red pill rhetoric because I am not a male centered woman. Analysising data and seeing the environment we are raised in ,thier is a huge issue with emotional eating because of stress, being neglected, facing racism and colorism,having the world on our back because many of us were raised in fatherless homes or simply never been taught how to eat properly. Do you know when you don't eat vitamin rich food it's effects your mood/behavior patterns. When you aren't eating healthy and constantly consuming high sugar and salt diet, you don't have the nutrients to regulate your emotions. Fitness is an act that needs to be the standard. Every black woman should have a gym membership and try to go to the gym whenever you can. I know there is a body positive movement that is promoting being " obese is attractive." We as black women shouldn't be part of that because it won't work in our favor. That is for a yt women because they have a system behind them and have more acces to surgeons and other world known doctors because of their privilege. I want more younger and older black women to develop a health relationship with fitness and have a bmi chart in their homes. We as a collective have features that people pay for naturally, now imaging if we start getting in shape and staying consistent with our health. We would be unstoppable whie aging like a turtle.
