Dalia Kinsey (Nonbinary|No Pronouns) is a queer, small fat, Black Registered Dietitian, the creator of the Body Liberation for All podcast, and author of Decolonizing Wellness: A QTBIPOC-Centered Guide to Escape the Diet Trap, Heal Your Self-Image, and Achieve Body Liberation. Dalia, along with co-panelists Lindley Ashline and Laura Burns, recently joined us on the NAAFA Webinar Series to discuss how fat business owners can be supported and how other businesses can better support fat customers. (That episode will be available soon on our YouTube channel. Be sure to subscribe to NAAFAOfficial on YouTube for this and other educational videos!) 

Dalia rejects diet culture and teaches people to use nutrition as a self-care and personal empowerment tool to counter the damage of systemic oppression. Dalia and publishers are giving away a free copy of the book to someone in our NAAFA community. Click here to enter the giveaway! Enter by 2/28/22. More of Dalia’s work can be found at daliakinsey.com.
