EatWell Exchange is a nonprofit that teaches communities of the African diaspora how to eat their cultural foods in a healthier way. Providing gardening and culinary classes, and nutrition education to demonstrate how our foods can be healthy and still taste good. In 5 years, they have educated over 20,000 people about the importance of representation of our culture's foods in a healthy lifestyle.
