We find out a bit more about Annette Rugyendo, a registered dietitian who works in Food Service within a clinical setting. Annette was super helpful when I initially tweeted about this campaign, and I’ve had a lot of fun chatting with her over the last few weeks. I’m definitely looking forward to keeping in contact with her!

Today I’m excited to chat with one of my former classmates, Timilehin Omilana. He’s worked in Public Health in Nigeria and UK and has transitioned to clinical practice in the UK, qualifying as a dietitian recently.

To set the stage for the amazing month ahead, I’ll be starting with Claudine Matthews who has worn many hats throughout her career! She is a registered dietitian, associate lecturer, motivational speaker and an advocate for improving nutritional therapy in sickle cell treatment. When I read Claudine’s professional journey, it gave me all the feels! I felt sad, empathetic, happy, empowered and inspired. Thank you so much Claudine!
In sending out the call for black registered nutritionists and dietitians, I truly underestimated the responses I would have received. I cannot thank you all enough for sharing your extraordinary stories with me.
