This episode is all about spreading awareness around the myths of Thanksgiving and finding ways to honor Native Americans today and everyday. I am by no means an expert on this, but intend to use this platform as a way to combat erasure, colonialism as it relates to ALL bodies- and how eating disorders are inherently intersected in social justice issues.
