Cherie Conliffe grew up in Brownsville, where corner stores were filled with junk food and her family’s traditional West Indian foods were hard to find. Living in a food desert, she quickly realized the gaps in nutrition education. This became the jump-off point to a career in wellness.
During the pandemic Cherie started CherVitality, and is now bringing Caribbean nutrition to her community through Moringa and other traditional herbal teas. In this episode we talk to Cherie to learn more about the inspiration behind CherVitality and what’s next.
