Charmaine Jones RDN Speaks at the Black Health Matters Health Summit on the Power of Nutrition
On April 12th, 2024, Food Jonezi’s founder and registered dietitian nutritionist Charmaine Jones, MS, RDN, LDN, took the stage at the Black Health Matters Health Summit & Expo in Washington, DC. As a featured panelist on “An Ounce of Prevention: How Nutrition Can Save Your Life,” Charmaine shared her signature truth-telling approach to food, health, and healing in Black communities.
In a conversation that addressed health disparities, generational eating habits, and the power of prevention, Charmaine emphasized how nutrition can be used not just as a tool — but as a form of liberation.
“It’s not about perfection, it’s about connection — to food, to culture, and to health,” Charmaine shared during the panel.
The summit brought together healthcare leaders, community advocates, and wellness professionals, all with one goal: to empower Black communities with life-saving health knowledge and resources.
