Early Life
As a child and teenager, Nia struggled with her weight and was forced to deal with several medical and physical issues. At the age of 16, while attending a Performing Arts Boarding School, Nia was diagnosed with having dangerously higher than normal insulin levels. That very same year, Nia had gone to several medical specialists and was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). Because her health conditions had gone undetected for so long, Nia also developed a skin condition called Acanthosis Nigricans (AN), which caused areas of her body to be extremely dark and discolored in appearance. Her physician and family realized that even with her hard work, dedication, and desperate attempts to lose weight, the combination of all these health conditions was a contributing factor to her inability to successfully lose weight. Nia was relieved that she finally had answers that explained why the various low calorie and low-fat diets just didn’t work for her.

Nia is a member of the Academic Society for Functional Foods and Bioactive Compounds, Southern Foodways Alliance, and American Public Health Association. Nia serves on the board for Head Start in the Bronx and was appointed by the NYC Mayor to serve on the advisory board for the NYC Public Schools Lunch Pilot Program.
Nia attended major colleges and universities to obtain her knowledge in the field. She has her degrees in Clinical Dietetics & Political Science/Health Care Policy.
Nia splits her time between Massachusetts and Michigan. She enjoys watching action movies, trying new restaurants, traveling, going to museums, and spending time with her family & fluffy cat, Bailey.
