It's a small gesture, but I like to support Indigenous producers when I can. I purchased these stickers to use as incentives for our class participation. We went thru our call-out post from a few weeks ago and selected a few producers. We had a lot of tags, but we could only choose a few! When we run out this round we'll go through the post again and select new sticker producers.

Stickers make people a tiny bit excited when I talk about nutrition, because let's be honest, sometimes nutrition education can be a bit dry lol. I try my hardest to make the content engaging, but the sticker strategy is just that extra oomph.

If you are interested in any of these stickers, you can follow the producers here and connect:

Day 2 of Oahu. If you haven't been following my stories, just a quick catch up: I traveled to Honolulu to co-present with Chef Christopher Fujimoto and Chef Nephi Craig to discuss how we combine Indigenous foods and clinical programs. I am so honored to have been invited! I also ran into Krystal Dunham and Ke'alohi Naipo at the Hawaiin Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Conference.

I am spending an extra few days here to relax and find all the different forms of spam out there lol. Follow my stories if you want to see some more behind the scenes shenanigans!

Where else should I visit while in Hawaii? All I know is I gotta find some dirt to dig my hands into.

Anyway, TN is getting on the list to do government contracts! This mean for all those IHS folks who wanted to work with us and up until now couldn't ... well, now we are here to work for you!

Also, wasn't the music perfect for this process? It was me staring into the abyss of 1000 questions.
