Nutritionists of Color Bringing Healthy Food to All

People of color need to see others who look like them, eating, being well, and thriving.  I was one of eight dietitians and nutritionists profiled in this piece for Healthline:

Maya Feller is a registered and certified dietitian residing in Brooklyn, New York. She received her Master of Science degree and came to nutrition as a second career to help people of color care for themselves.

Feller believes there’s no one-size-fits-all recommendation for entire groups of people regarding nutrition and that representation of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) matters in the health and wellness world.

“We cannot talk about nutrition [and] our health without having diverse voices in many positions, the same way we cannot have conversations about women’s health from a public health perspective without having women in decision-making positions,” says Feller.
