It's Always Been Ours: Rewriting the Story of Black Women's Bodies
by Jessica Wilson
If you’re looking for a book that explores body image and diet culture this is definitely the book for you.
The author didn’t hold back. I enjoyed reading about her experiences as sometimes the only black registered dietician in professional settings. Her desire to just “be” is a desire for many black girls. (Relatable)
She didn’t shy away from topics like food apartheid, “health”, capitalism and racism.
Her writing style was easy to follow. I would like to say that if you’re on a journey or suffer from an eating disorder some of the stories and topics may be triggering. It is a short read but she explored some deep topics about race as well. You should take your time as you read as some of the topics can be triggering. Over all I enjoyed reading it!
