Despite being raised as Jehovah’s Witness, Dalia Kinsey already had an awareness of diverging from the traditional framework of sexuality that was presented to her as a child. After growing up and coming out as queer, she recounts her experience of leaving the cult-and thus the community-she had known for so long in order to live her life freely. By doing the work of enforcing boundaries and continually honoring and returning to those feelings from childhood, she now implements the values of transparency and authenticity in her work as a dietician advocating for body neutrality.

Dalia Kinsey is a Registered Dietitian, Inclusive Employee Wellness Specialist, and creator of the Body Liberation for All podcast, a show dedicated to amplifying the health and happiness of LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) folx. On her mission to spread joy, reduce suffering, and eliminate health disparities in her QTBIPOC community, she rejects diet culture and teaches people to use nutrition as a self-care and personal empowerment tool.
