Recorded Symposium Session: Food Dignity®: Challenge the Stigma, Change the Culture

United Nations calls “collaboration critical… if we are to create a more inclusive, just, and sustainable world.” Solutions to complex nutrition problems require diverse leadership, collaboration, compassion, self-awareness, and Food Dignity®. It is time to dramatically and permanently shift the conversation around food, health, and social responsibility. As dietitians, we must reflect deeply on our own assumptions, motivations and biases, and finally, help people to make a positive impact both on a personal and an organizational level.

In this session, Clancy Cash Harrison, MS, RD, FAND, shares her journey as a recovering “food elitist” and reveals how her professional mission transformed her for the better after peeling back the layers of blind privilege as a registered dietitian. This interactive session integrates thought-provoking storytelling with statistics so participants are inspired to initiate effective collaboration, inspire Food Dignity®, improve health outcomes, and bust through the stigma associated with access to healthy food. Attendees will discover their voice, learn strategies to improve food access, and gain clever tips to engage the people they serve.

  1. Identify resources to demystify the hidden epidemic of food insecurity in the United States.
