As an author and speaker in the field of nutrition and health, I enjoy engaging with people and facilitating ‘light bulb’ moments and so my latest engagement took me all the way to the USA (Silver Spring, Maryland to be precise)! I had a great time speaking to the Homebuilder’s Ministry, a married women’s group of Jesus House Washington DC.
At the seminar which took place on Monday, 18th of April 2011, I spoke on how to make healthy food choices for families, shared healthy cooking tips and also showed attendees how West African foods can be part of a healthy, balanced diet. We also had a great Q & A session which would have gone on for longer if the ladies had their way!
The response to both my books was amazing and the feedback from the seminar was great – I look forward to being back there soon.
