THE POWER OF YOUR PLATE

Session #1 in the African American Culinary Heritage Series

Sunday, August 9 @ 5:00 - 7:00 pm EDT

Live on Zoom

This class is the first in a series designed to inspire and empower healthful eating to prevent and reverse chronic diseases, including high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and obesity. "Power of Your Plate" recognizes the West African roots of Soul Food traditions and honors the creativity and flavor of both the food and the people who created it. 

This 2-hour class features a video lesson, quiz, resources, recipes, and a cooking demo of delicious, health-promoting dishes that are easy and affordable, led by Transformational Coach and Food for Life Instructor, Trish Ahjel Roberts.

This class is FREE due to support from the Physicians' Committee for Responsible Medicine. To pay it forward, I need your help completing a survey at the end of class. Thank you in advance for your support.

 Hi, I'm Trish!

I'm a transformational career & leadership coach, book and business mentor, and plant-based retreat leader. Originally from Brooklyn, NY, I started cooking over three decades ago, specializing in the Caribbean dishes and Soul Food I grew up with. In 2007, I moved to Atlanta and became active in the local vegetarian and vegan community. I went vegetarian in 2012 after watching the documentaries Food Inc. and Forks Over Knives. I transitioned to a fully vegan lifestyle in 2014 after attending a Buddhist weekend meditation retreat. That same year, I founded Black Vegan Life®, a community-centered event brand rooted in culture, wellness, and compassion.

In 2019, I launched the Mind-Blowing Happiness® brand to help motivated women amplify their voices and step into their power. Drawing on my MBA, corporate background, author credentials, and certifications in coaching, yoga, and meditation, I integrate holistic well-being and plant-based living across all of my work. Centered on self-awareness, self-leadership, and sustainable joy, I help my clients and students create healthful, aligned, and purpose-driven lives from the inside out.
