Today on the podcast I’m excited to welcome Tamara Melton. Tamara is an award-winning nutrition professional who has a passion for using the power of storytelling to advance women-led brands. Tamara is best known in the profession as the co-founder and Executive Director of Diversify Dietetics, a nonprofit organization with a mission to increase the racial and ethnic diversity in the field of nutrition by empowering nutrition leaders of tomorrow. No matter where she is working, Tamara is an educator at heart.  She loves the challenge of teaching and tailoring teaching methods to the needs of her students. Tamara lives in Atlanta, Georgia with her husband and two young daughters. In this episode we talk about the power of storytelling in our businesses and cookbooks as well as what makes a good story.
