    Jenna Green: MS Advocate
    In recent years, giving my body nutritious foods h In recent years, giving my body nutritious foods has become a critical part of my health and self care routine with chronic illness. ๐Ÿฅ— Iโ€™m often too tired to cook or even prep a meal so I rely on services like @cookunity which help me have healthy and delicious meals at the ready. I also love that Iโ€™m supporting local chefs with my weekly CookUnity deliveries. You can try them all over the Northeast and thereโ€™s referral a link to a 50% off code in my bio @thejennagreen. While everyone is different, Iโ€™d love to know if what you eat effects your multiple sclerosis or chronic illness? And when I enjoyed this tonight, I also reflected on the extreme privilege that I have to be able to eat well during this pandemic. โค๏ธ 38% of households in MA alone are now โ€œfood insecureโ€. Plus, we know disabled people and Black families are much more likely to be food insecure than white families. Personally, I am able to make add a few extra things to my grocery list weekly for the local food pantry, and if you are able, I also want to encourage you to check out @feedingamerica to find a food bank near you. . #cookunity #cookunitypartner #brandambasssador #affiliate #thisisms #checkyourprivilege #bostonblogger #bostonbussinesswomen #localchefs #selfcareiscritical #chronicillness #spoonie #spoonielife #treatyourselfwell #gratefulaf #igboston #chronicallyill #lovemydog #igmassachusetts #newenglandlife #supportyourcommunity #mswarrior

    Yup, I feel like a rainbow princess in this dress Yup, I feel like a rainbow princess in this dress ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿ‘ธ Did I mention it's only $26.99?! Perfect for all my backyard adventures (I'll link to it). ๐Ÿ˜‚ And now that I have your attention with a colorful dress, I actually want to talk about how we see color as a society. Or rather, how ๐˜„๐—ฒ '๐—ฑ๐—ผ๐—ป'๐˜ ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—ฒ ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—น๐—ผ๐—ฟ' ๐˜„๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ป ๐—ถ๐˜ ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ. I know I've said that before... and to my Black friends and friends of color, please know that I am sorry and I know better now. Not only is it clearly inaccurate, but it's also hurtful and harming efforts to create a more inclusive chronic illness advocacy community and society in general. As Dr @janicejnice said in @Forbes article "We have to first, recognize that each of us, no matter our color, have preconceived notions and expectations about different racial groups. Recognition and acknowledgment are ๐˜ค๐˜ณ๐˜ถ๐˜ค๐˜ช๐˜ข๐˜ญ." She continued "Another reason why this phrase is counterproductive is that it diminishes the unique differences and experiences racial groups face. Each of us is different and by saying that one of the most obvious and conspicuous characteristics about a person is something you ignore is dismissive and trivializing. Ideally, we would live in a utopian society where there were rainbows and butterflies and skin color was not a factor in our decision-making, but the unfortunate reality is that it is.". And finally, "We need to ๐—ฎ๐—ฏ๐—ผ๐—น๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ต ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ฎ ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—น๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฏ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐˜€๐—ผ๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜๐˜† ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ด๐—ผ๐—ฎ๐—น and learn to recognize our prejudice and biases in order to strengthen our decision-making capabilities." . Again to my Black friends and friends of different races, I DO see you. โค๏ธYour experience is valuable to me. I stand with you and want to help you dismantle the systemic racism issues in our healthcare and society in general. White friends, did you grow up thinking 'color blindness' was the goal? Not realizing you were white or different from your Black friends until you were a teen? I DID. That in and of itself is a privilege. I hope you'll join me in understanding why that is problematic and how we can be more inclusive and see EVERYONE.๐ŸŒˆ

    If you want to affect change within yourself and o If you want to affect change within yourself and others, you have to give up your fear of being wrong, especially when it comes to doing the work to dismantle systemic racism and individual racism. Is making a mistake when you share on social media or in-person the worst that can happen?! Really?! If you're learning, trying, and growing, I think the worst thing that can happen is you're wrong, you apologize, learn, and move forward. Hopefully, you're not malicious and you're not making a mistake that will cause a lot of harm. Right? If you're silent, you won't make a mistake, but you also won't ๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ฏ anything. Yes, taking a risk is always uncomfortable. But as many people have said, nothing good comes from your comfort zone. I've been wrong before on countless things. I don't love it when it happens, but if you're really feeling paralyzed with anxiety about anti-racism or anything else, please talk to a professional who can help. @gisellebuchanan shared "I've been hearing a lot of people say that they're nervous to say anything because they have a lot to learn and don't want to be wrong. But you will be wrong sometimes when you take a risk. You might have to endure being checked a few times in your journey towards true allyship.... ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ผ ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ฝ: ๐—ถ๐˜'๐˜€ ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ณ๐—ณ๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐˜‚๐—น๐˜ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ ๐˜„๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ถ๐—ณ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—น๐˜† ๐˜€๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐—ณ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐˜๐˜€".

    A little Fatherโ€™s Day throwback, because I canโ€™t wait to get pedicures again with this guy! My dad and I donโ€™t agree on much ๐Ÿ˜‚but I am grateful beyond words for all his love, support, and life lessons over the years. We do, however, agree on some of the most important things: ๐Ÿ˜‚Iโ€™m smarter than he is. ๐ŸคฃI turned out amazing. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธA little teasing is good for you, never take yourself too seriously. โ›ณ๏ธAlso, never work too hard, donโ€™t forget to have fun. ๐ŸฅŽSoftball and baseball can teach you all about life (and we always root for the @redsox ). โค๏ธLove more, worry less. . #lovemydad #happyfatherday #fathersdaylove #throwbacksunday #fathersdaythrowback #lessonsfrommydad #lifelessons #thisisms #mswarrior #goredsox #softballlifeโšพ #happymemories #stayhomestaysafe #lovemyfamily #nevertakeforgranted #nevertakeyourselftooseriously #lovemore #agreetodisagree #bostonblogger #socialstrategysquad #gratefulaf

Since the #Summersolstice traditionally signifies new beginnings, and I think we could all use some more good continuing to lift us up and inspiring us, right?!โฃ โฃ Astrologer @Lisastardust says "The summer solstice reminds us of the light that exists within all of us.
