Diversify Dietetics

The idea for Diversify Dietetics was born out of a need that our co-founders and registered dietitian nutritionists (RDNs), Deanna Belleny Lewis and Tamara Melton, did not see was being met: a community to attract, encourage and empower students and professionals of color who were seeking careers in the field of nutrition and dietetics. To increase the racial and ethnic diversity in the field of nutrition by empowering nutrition leaders of color. A nutrition profession that reflects the diverse communities we serve.
