• Registered Dietitian, Riina Education for Innovation Community Foundation funded grant, Syracuse, NY, I serve as the registered dietitian/nutritionist included in the Community Foundation Grant. In this role, I collaborate with Gail Riina, the Lutheran Chaplin at Hendricks Chapel and Director of Riina Education for Innovation Inc. to reduce lead poisoning in new Americans in Syracuse. The grant involves collaborating with Congolese Women Vision, Integrity, Action, Inc (COWVIA), to understand the impact of lead poisoning on their community and creating nutrition education workshops to reduce lead absorption by increasing the nutrient density of the diet. The purpose of this grant is to teach the members of COWVIA how to educate their community and other groups within the African diaspora on the role of nutrition in reducing lead poisoning, so they can share the message throughout Syracuse. To achieve this, I have had focus group meeting with COWVIA members, collaborated with the Onondago County Department of Public Health, the Medical Director of the Central/Eastern New York Lead Poisoning Resource Center, Families for Lead Freedom, Environmental Science faculty at ESF, Syracuse University Public Health faculty and WIC on understanding the reasons and extent of lead exposure and interventions. Using stakeholder input, I developed a nutrition curriculum to address the most essential information to increase nutrition literacy for the COWVIA members. We have started the community education sessions which require translation of materials into Swahili, Kinyarwanda, and French at community centers and have other sessions scheduled for 2024..
