In honor of this important mission, Stephanie Covington Armstrong, author of the memoir Not All Black Girls Know How to Eat shares her story of recovery as an African American woman who does not fit the stereotype of a person with an eating disorder. Through Stephanie's story and countless more shared on The Recovery Warrior Show it is clear that eating disorders are a universal struggle and do not discriminate based on age, gender, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, body type race or ethnicity. There are so many common threads, like perfectionism, anxiety, depression to name a few, that unite us all. Tune in to this weeks show to be inspired by Stephanie's courage to face her feelings and dedication to creating a healthy and loving relationship with herself and others.
