Rethinking Cultural Foods: From Shame to Empowerment with Wendy Lopez

In thisepisode of Cafe con Pam, Pam chats with registered dietitian and entrepreneur Wendy Lopez about everything from her Dominican roots and family’s migration story to the real struggles—and triumphs—of bringing culturally inclusive nutrition to the forefront.

Wendy shares her experiences growing up between New York and the Dominican Republic, what it’s like moving from the city to Charlotte, and the challenges faced by Black and brown folks in the dietetics field.

The conversation gets real about diabetes stats in Latino communities, why access and representation matter, and how Wendy’s company, Diabetes Digital, is flipping the script on what healthy eating looks like for us.
