From Olivia: “I personally live with diabetes, so I fully understand what people with diabetes have to go through each and every day to control their diagnosis. Knowing that I am able to provide meaningful education and nourishing food to these individuals is what drives me to continue working towards helping with the diabetes epidemic and food insecurity. I believe that everyone with a chronic disease should have access to healthful food and education to help them control their disease state as best they can.”
