In this week’s episode of the African American Diabetes Podcast, we’re pulling back the curtain on the Kitchen Table Conspiracy. We aren’t just talking about A1Cs and finger pricks—we’re talking about how a system of Food Apartheid hijacked our plates and then had the nerve to blame us for it.

Inside this episode:

  • 🛑 Culture vs. Colonialism: Why the "standard" diabetic diet feels like an insult to our ancestors.
  • 🌿 The Decolonized Plate: How to find the "Soul" in food without the systemic poison.
  • 🎤 Leon Talks about why "Non-Compliance" is often just a refusal to be erased.
