11/04/21 • 50 min
Dr. Hortencia Jimenéz was born in Nayarit, Mexico and raised in the agriculture community of Watsonville CA. Dr. Jimenéz spent her childhood years working in the fields and learned the ethic of hard work and perseverance.
She holds a BA, MA, and Ph.D in Sociology and is also a certified Health Coach and Fitness Instructor. Dr. Jimenez is a full time tenured Sociology professor teaching at a local community college in Monterey, County.
Dr. Jimenéz signed a book contract with SAGE Publishing, a leading press in the social sciences to co-author an undergraduate textbook on Latinxs.
Her research writing has appeared in academic publications and in 2017 she published her book Challenging Inequalities: Readings in Race, Ethnicity, and Immigration by Cognella Academic Publishing.
Dr. Jimenéz has numerous awards and recognitions for her work in the Latinx community. Her most recent recognitions include the Community Achievements Award by the Latino Network of Monterey County, a Certificate of Recognition by the Monterey County Board of Supervisors, and a Certificate of Recognition by California Legislature Assembly, Anna Caballero.
Dr. Jimenéz transitioned to social media during the pandemic and created her instagram account as a response to the lack of Latinx representation and conversation of an anti-diet approach in the Health and Wellness industry. Her work centers on dismantling diet culture and helping Latinxs heal their relationship with food.
In this episode, we discuss the connection between food and culture, how diet culture capitalizes off of silencing one's culture, breaking generational cycles, honoring our ancestors, and more.
