Keonna Valentine

Keonna’s passion for nutrition and reversing type 2 diabetes was born from a deeply personal place—her love for her grandfather. Witnessing his struggle with the disease during her formative years ignited a lifelong commitment to understanding the healing power of food. After his passing, Keonna dedicated herself to researching nutrition and its impact on health, turning her grief into purpose.

Determined to raise awareness within her family and community, she volunteered at food banks supporting neighborhoods affected by food deserts. These experiences deepened her compassion and strengthened her resolve to make a difference through nutrition education.

Keonna is pursuing her undergraduate degree in Nutrition and Dietetics at Alabama A&M University and plans to continue on to earn a doctoral degree. She brings creativity and joy to her kitchen and loves crafting as a relaxing outlet. Most of all, she enjoys life with her husband, their baby boy, and their energetic dog—often found strolling together in the park.
