Meet Jasmine and Ashley, two RDs who bonded together to pursue their passion of preventing chronic disease through nutrition education. Together they are founders and directors of EatWell Exchange, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that teaches low socioeconomic communities how to grow their own food, cook foods in a healthier manner, and become more educated about their cultural foods.

Over the past four years, they have served over 25,500 clients, which includes traveling to Grand Goave, Haiti, for a mission trip in 2018, where the pair initiated a community garden that allows over 65 families to grow and harvest their own food.
