Local 4′s Kimberly Gill talks with black dietician Kimberly Snodgrass on why it’s so important to have more diversity in the field of dietetics.
Kimberly Gill: “When you look at all the registered dieticians in the U.S., only 3% of them are black. Why does that matter? Well, because it impacts the health of our community.”
Kimberly Snodgrass: “When they find a black dietician they say, ah, finally someone who can relate to what I eat.”
