Welcome to EYL, the YouTube channel that dives deep into important topics affecting our community. In this clip, we sit down with Alexiou Gibson to explore a fascinating and often overlooked subject - the impact of food on people of color. • Alexiou opens the discussion by sharing her insights from the documentary Hidden Colors by Tariq Nasheed. This powerful series sheds light on various aspects of history and culture that have been hidden from mainstream narratives. One segment in particular resonated with Alexis: it focuses on how food affects people of color differently. • During our conversation, Alexiou highlights a crucial point from the documentary - the role of melanin as a binder for chemicals found in food and drugs. She explains that this binding property has had severe consequences for people of color, especially during the crack epidemic. The compounds in the drug would attach themselves to melanin, making it significantly more potent and addictive for those with higher levels of melanin. As a result, the crack epidemic had a devastating and disproportionately severe impact on communities of color. • Through this clip, we aim to raise awareness about the unique challenges faced by people of color in relation to food and addiction. Understanding these factors is essential for addressing the root causes of health disparities and advocating for more equitable solutions. • Join us for an eye-opening discussion that not only educates but also empowers viewers to take action.
