Dissident eating disorder education

I'm Glo V., keynote speaker and community educator behind Nalgona Positivity Pride. My talks bring an anti-colonial, harm reduction lens to eating disorders and body liberation. I've spoken on campuses, inside clinics, and with community teams who want a framework beyond the mainstream treatment model.

Why book Glo

A perspective the field rarely hears

Anti-colonial framework

Traces the histories that shape eating disorders, from settler colonialism to the religious pull of diet culture and the grip of white Christian patriarchy.

Harm reduction as the starting point

Meets people where they are with autonomy and non-judgment, aiming for goals people can actually reach. Standard care fails a lot of BIPOC folks. This doesn't.

Practitioner-ready

Every talk comes with theory behind it, group norms your team can adopt, and citations you can hand to a skeptical colleague. Resources ready by Monday morning.

Ten years on the ground

Grassroots feminist organizing meets keynote-stage experience. Cited 80+ times in scholarly work.

What participants say

Voices from the room

From clinicians and educators to community organizers — reflections on what shifts when colonial frameworks are named out loud.

"I left with a deeper understanding that reframed how I view my own eating disorder and how I will approach it with clients as a therapist. Truly a special training that is exactly what is missing within common treatment."

About Glo

A movement grown out of grassroots feminist organizing

Nalgona Positivity Pride (NPP) is a grassroots movement meeting the needs of Black, Indigenous, and communities of color affected by eating disorders. Founded in 2014 in Riverside and Los Angeles, NPP draws on indigenous matriarchal wisdom and punk influences to challenge white cultural dominance in eating disorder care.
