about wanda

​What if we had more women and girls become food sheroes in our community?

 What would happen to diabetes, heart disease, obesity and malnutrition? That’s the question that WANDA Founder, Tambra Raye Stevenson, raised as she became a nutritionist and began raising her daughter, Ruby, who gained a cavity from junk food as rewards in her school’s classroom. Currently we have a high supply of diet-related disease and a low amount of nutritionists, farmers, and healthy food entrepreneurs in our communities from Anacostia to Abuja. 

Globally the state of opportunities for women and girls of African descent in agriculture and nutrition is dismal at best as a consumer and changemaker. We suffer disproportionately as the top offenders–nutritionally and economically—in short. The range of malnutrition and poverty challenges include anemia, obesity, heart disease and diabetes to low to no wage work offers and low-ranked positions. WANDA works to change the next chapter of this story through our innovative educational programs, advocacy and policy and much-needed promotion for women and girls making an impact from farm to fork.
