This minisode is about unsolved mysteries. The re-enactments and special effects are actual eyewitness accounts. What you are about to hear is not a news broadcast.

We touch on it all - the original, Robert Stack, and the new Netflix remake (and how you can help solve a mystery).

In this episode we take a look at diet culture

Diets have been around for centuries. They have infiltrated our lives through books, pills, media, and even reality shows. In this episode we take a closer look at diet culture and how it has shaped our perception of beauty and health.

We define diet culture as a system that uses restriction or suppression to obtain a certain physical appearance. These systems also tend to equate happiness, success, and fulfillment in direct relationship with a number on a scale. To be clear, mindful nutrition and self-care of one’s body is heavily encouraged here at Biracial Unicorns…not a particular dress size.

This episode we share our own experiences with body image and our own struggles for body positivity and health. Though the ideal cis female body type might fluctuate in proportions from decade to decade it still leans in favor of a slender European frame. What does this mean for BIPOC women? How does this impact body types that are genetically curvy?

We can’t talk about diet culture without mentioning food! In past episodes we have mentioned the deep connection between culture and food. Is there cultural food shaming when it comes to eating healthy? I mean, don’t we all like seasoned vegetables?

We also touch on the body positivity movement and the usage of the word “fat”. Is the word fat helpful or harmful towards body acceptance? We briefly mention the bias of the fashion industry and its favoritism towards slimmer sizes.

In our wrap up we ask ourselves: how do we put an end to diet culture? We discuss ways to dismantle the colonist standards of beauty and also introduce practical steps towards a healthy relationship with food.

Here’s the link to intuitive eating and the podcast mentioned in the episode:

You know we always like to end in our “Happy Place”, hint they’re both ironically somehow food related.

In this episode, also recorded before the death of George Floyd, we discuss social media etiquette. How do we behave when social media becomes our main public sphere?

To “call out” or not to “call out” people of social media…that is the question. In this time where our “shared spaces” are our social media feeds defining proper etiquette has proven to be difficult.

While sharing our own struggles with finding a balance on social media we breakdown a potential protocol when dealing with problematic comments made in these shared spaces. When calling out racist comments (for example) we suggest you ask yourself:

Who are they to you?

How do I communicate with that person?

What’s the hope?

Do I need to respond right in this moment?

In the next portion of the episode we address our own judgemental tendies, as we discuss, over sharing. Is there such a thing as over sharing? And how can we excersie grace during this time when we all are experiencing collective trauma.

While expanding on the topic of trauma we discuss grieving online. We start by categorizing grief into two types : public and private. We describe the differences and the difficultly expressing both of those types of grief during social distanting.

As we often do, we express the desire and need for us (as people) to have community. You are not alone Unicorns.

It’s time for our Happy Place hint you’re going to feel festive and loved!!

Don't forget to add Bell Hooks Day to your calendar - September 25th!
