RPCS Welcomes Chrissy King as Linde Health Colloquium Guest Speaker

Roland Park Country School is thrilled to welcome writer, speaker, strength coach and educator Chrissy King for our annual Doug and Carol Croft Linde, 1982 Health Colloquium on Tuesday, October 1 at 6:30 p.m. at Roland Park Country School. Chrissy will speak about diet culture, implicit bias and tips for cultivating a positive body image among children and teens. This lecture is intended for parents and guardians with children in grades K-12. 

 

Chrissy has a passion for creating a diverse and inclusive wellness industry and empowers individuals to stop shrinking, start taking up space, and use their energy to create their specific magic in the world. During her evening lecture, Chrissy will share an overview of diet culture and explain how to unlearn our own implicit biases pertaining to weight. She will also provide tips to foster a positive body image among children and teens, share resources for continued learning, and answer questions from the audience.

 

In support of our school's core value to live health and be well, Chrissy will meet with students from Lower, Middle and Upper School earlier in the day to talk in age-appropriate ways about body positivity and diversity, respecting differences, and positive affirmations and will also guide journal activities. Chrissy has been featured in SELF, SHAPE, Health, Cosmopolitan, BuzzFeed, Muscle and Fitness, and Livestrong, among others. With degrees in Social Justice and Sociology from Marquette University, Chrissy merges her passion for social justice and her passion for fitness to empower individuals within the fitness and wellness industry to create spaces that allow individuals from all backgrounds to feel seen, welcome, respected, and celebrated.
