In this episode of La Voz de la Comunidad, hosted by Celina Rodríguez, we hear about common societal prejudices toward people who are obese and the harm this can cause to a person’s mental health. This can be especially difficult for immigrants already contending with the challenges of language, culture, and racism in a new society. We’ll hear from medical experts and psychologists, as well as from those who have experienced these prejudices firsthand. (Spanish only).

En este episodio de La Voz de la Comunidad, conducido por Celina Rodríguez, conocemos los prejuicios contra las personas obesas y los estigmas que afectan sus estados emocionales y su salud mental. Esto puede ser especialmente difícil para los inmigrantes que ya luchan con cosas como el idioma, la cultura, el racismo, entre otros. Escuchamos a expertos médicos y psiquiátricos y también a personas que han experimentado estos prejuicios de primera mano.
