The Problem

Obesity is one of the main causes of diabetes and African Americans are affected by diabetes the most. I wanted to make more African Americans aware about diabetes , its causes and ways in which they can prevent it.

Plan of Action

1. Completed 35 hr diabetes prevention and awareness workshop. 2. Planned Diabetes Awareness Day. 3. Crafted a "maintaining a healthy lifestyle" packet 4. Conducted the Diabetes Awareness Day , by talking to African Americans about diabetes and circulating information on how to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
