Challenging the stereotype that eating disorders are a 'white' problem
Stephanie Covington Armstrong is a playwright and screenwriter and author of ‘Not all Black Girls Know How to Eat’ - an account of how she suffered from bulimia during her teenage years after being raped when she was 12.
She talks about the role race plays in the treatment and recognition of eating disorders and why it's so important for people in the black community to speak out about these issues.
