BOBBEE BEE:WHOLISTIC WELLNESS AND HEALING CONFERENCE

On August 5-8, 2004 at Morehouse College, in Atlanta, Georgia, Eric D.Graham along with Brother Jeff X.Barnes, the co-founder of Seminole Entertainment, attended the Wholistic Wellness and Healing Conference, where they presented their award-winning presentation FAST FOOD NATION: BATTLE OF THE BULGE, which is a presentation that confronts the growing trend of obesity in America, with a particular emphasis on the African-American community.

The presentation explored the negative consequences of a diet in fat and processed foods, with particular emphasis placed on the growth of this industry and the marketing tools which are used to make high calorie, low nutorious food appealing.

The presentation also brilliantly placed in a historical context, which showed how African-Americans, since slavery, have received low quality foods and have continued this same destructive pattern presently today.

The Wholistic Stress Control Institute, Inc., which was founded by Jennie C.Trotter, who is an advocate, licensed counselor, educator, is a non-profit community based organization whose mission is to teach wholistic stress management by promoting wellness and healthy lifestyle choices.

In addition to training, WSCI operates over 15 community programs (See childwww.wholistic1.com) and has collaborated with Morehouse College, Department of Psychology, to host the first "Wholistic Wellness and Healing Conference:Conventional and Complementary Approaches for Optimum Health for African Americans."

The conference goal is to share both conventional and complementary healing prevention and intervention therapies and approaches that have demonstrated successful models for addressing the seven leading preventable cause of death for African-Americans. 

 According to the CDC, the leading causes are: 1) heart disease, 2) cancer, 3) strokes, 4) accidents, 5) diabetes, 6) homicide and 7.) HIV/AIDS
