Support. Amplify. #blacklivesmatter

Good morning LL&N community,  As much as I feel that Lyon Lifestyle & Nutrition brings streams of positivity and inspiration to your kitchens and how to properly love and nourish your bodies, today I MUST show up for the community — as a health and wellness community, we need to stand up, support, listen, learn, and take action for the black community. Compassion, reflection, mindfulness, and being intentional with words and actions are not only part of my core values but also the values I want for my small business and the community it holds. I guide and teach about the many ways we can be more mindful of our health and how to optimally nourish our bodies. Just as our motto of healthy is a daily practice, taking anti-racism action is a daily practice. Showing up to injustice starts with our own work. It’s about taking action in unlearning, learning, reading, journaling, donating, having these conversations with family and friends, supporting teachers and black voices, and doing the work internally. I will listen, learn, and do my part as a human being and a healthcare provider to stand with and support the black community. WHO TO FOLLOW: It’s important we’re all being responsible for our own education, following these teachers on Instagram, supporting their work, taking their online classes can be great ways to learn and support.

Silence is the enemy.  Sending so much love and compassion, 🖤  Coach B  #blacklivesmatter
