This is my first spoken word video...
Dealing with obesity in the Black female community, its really ridiculous, I wrote the poem awhile ago, performed it once, and thought that this would be a more proper medium...

(Note the sickle cell reference is false)

As a soon to be R.N , I appreciate any message to populations who are more prone to obesity-The patients I have had thus far break my heart because 90% of the time their illnesses were 100% PREVENTABLE- I did most of my rotations on a cardiac/renal unit, and have seen the ugly truth- kidney failure, limb amputation, death in middle age, and most of my patients were people of color-and all their problems started with obesity- sad sad sad- please take of your body!

Good vid. I don't know why so many people are hatin' on you for makin' this.

[deja2057]

boy do you pander to black sterotypes about physical fitness. the problem is junk food. there are fat sad and fat happy people. and youre so sure whats thick and hats too fat. youre one mixed up fool. the reason native africans are slim is no food. when bodies live on little then get food they blow up huge. its biological and some love it. man you are a square.

I wish he would take the cussing out but otherwise it's good and true. It should cover obesity across races because it is not only true for Blacks.
