Show Notes

In today’s episode, I interview Tamara Melton, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and co-founder of Diversify Dietetics. Diversify Dietetics is a non-profit organization that aims to increase diversity in the field of nutrition by empowering students and young professionals from underrepresented minority groups to join the next generation of nutrition experts.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • The origin story of Diversify Dietetics and what inspired Tamara to co-found this nonprofit organization.
  • The role of Diversify Dietetics in Member Interest Groups (MIGs), groups of Academy members who have a common interest.
  • How social media supports her mission of increasing diversity in the field of nutrition and dietetics. 
  • The programs and resources (mentoring program, educator webinars, career center, handouts, etc.) offered by Diversify Dietetics.
