How Cultural Erasure Sneaks Onto the Plate: Why We Must Rethink “Healthy” Eating Through a Culturally Relevant Lens
When I was younger, I was told the foods I grew up eating—like mac and cheese, collard greens, and fried chicken—were the reason my grandparents got sick.
Years later, with a nutrition certification and a Master’s in Sustainable International Development under my belt, I realized the issue wasn’t the food. It was the advice.
In this video, I’m sharing how cultural erasure often hides behind mainstream definitions of “healthy eating,” and why culturally relevant teaching must be the foundation of our care. Whether you’re a clinician, coach, or educator, you’ll learn how to give nutrition guidance that respects culture—not replaces it.
