Abstract
Critical Dietetics found me at a conference in Japan of the International Conference of Dietetics where I presented a poster on my dissertation work centering around the lack of dietitians of color in the U.S. Lucy Aphramor took my card, and when the conference was to take place in Canada, she contacted me. After I read the founding documents, and articles in the first Journal, I knew I had found home. A child of the 1960's, I came to Dietetics after thirty years of social activism fighting war, racism, and sexual oppression. The perspective of my work has been centered in Marxism and Critical Race Theory. My mission as an educator is to help my students see themselves as advocates for equal access to good nutrition, health care and education for all. Critical Dietetics has allowed me a voice, in a space that loves women, food, the human body and still believes in the future of humanity.
