Changing the Face of Nutrition Starts with You!
Less than 14% of registered dietitians nutritionists (RDNs) in the United States identify as Black, Indigenous, Asian American, Pacific Islander, and Latinx.* Meanwhile, the clients and patients we serve are becoming more and more diverse.
What do we need to increase diversity in the profession?
We must recruit more nutrition professionals and RDNs of color who can provide high-quality, culturally-appropriate care to these diverse communities.
Aspiring students and current professionals of color need a safe space and a community that encourages and empowers them so that they can thrive.
That's where Diversify Dietetics comes in. We are the only 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated solely to increasing racial and ethnic diversity in dietetics by empowering nutrition professionals of color. Check out our campaign video to learn more about the work of our community.

"For me the Diversify Dietetics community means hope. I have been inspired and empowered by the stories of many registered dietitians of color; which I would not have known without this community provided by Diversify Dietetics. So much ambition, resilience, and excellence shines through each of the stories I encounter through this platform; and that has helped me keep going in my own journey despite various obstacles.
This community is filled with dietitians and other students who pour out encouragement and resources when I need it the most. I was matched with a mentor who helped me tremendously through my last year of grad school and the match process for the second time. Her help extended beyond preparing me for DICAS or professional development, because she reminded me that I am much more than my grades, my volunteer experiences, and all the other things I strive so hard to achieve."
