In today's episode I talk with Shun Foreman, RN, and one of the five co-founders of SUGARx Global. Shun has been a registered nurse for twenty-one years. Her healthcare experience ranges from labor and delivery, critical care, research, analyst, and administrative nursing. As she reflects on her career, she has always sought ways to become more effective in vulnerable communities. To enhance her knowledge of the world around her, she completed a degree in human rights and social justice at Southern Methodist University. The combined experience of nursing and human rights and social justice allows her to use a unique lens on how sugar has impacted African-American communities since slavery. Since the completion of Bitten Jonsson's SUGAR certification and her peers' support at SUGARx, her beliefs about healing individuals, groups, and communities of color are much more refined. She believes wholeheartedly that food, African American women, and the hidden harm of sugar are the three most overlooked sources of healing African American communities. Therefore, her life's work is centered around sugar awareness and creating dialogue change that will empower and promote healing in communities of color. For far too long, vulnerable communities have been stigmatized, so let's shift the language from food deserts to fuel deserts to heal all of our communities as a whole!
