“The Plant-Based Cooking Academy offered by Brenda Workman Speaks has been an excellent professional development experience for our team. The program provided practical, easy-to-follow nutrition education and healthy cooking strategies that can be applied in real-life settings. Brenda provided hands-on cooking demonstrations using recipes that make plant-based nutrition feel realistic and sustainable. I’m excited to apply what I’ve learned through this academy to help support healthier lifestyles for both our Head Start families and staff.”
