About the Speaker

Sadé Meeks, MS, RD, is a writer, food activist, and lover of nutrition. Her love for food started in the kitchen with her mom while growing up in Jackson, MS. This love blossomed and led her to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in Culinary Arts from Mississippi University for Women and a Master’s Degree in Nutritional Science from California State University, Los Angeles. Meeks has self-published a food literacy cookbook, and her nutrition expertise have been featured in Reader’s Digest, MSN, and Yahoo News.
