Charlotte Gears Up for the 5th Annual Eat Drink and Disrupt Summit!
Hey there, Charlotte! Mark your calendars because something super exciting is happening in our city on November 16th! That’s right, the much-anticipated 5th Annual Eat Drink and Disrupt (EDD) Summit is returning, and it’s going to be an event to remember!
What’s the Hype All About?
So, what can you expect at this fabulous summit? It’s all about wellness and delicious food! This year’s theme revolves around a 100% whole food, plant-based wellness program that focuses on not just managing, but actually reversing chronic diseases that often come from our lifestyles. Isn’t that refreshing? Dawn Hilton-Williams, Executive Director of Power is Giving, shared that this summit is the only one of its kind in the Southeast, spearheaded by our very own BIPOC clinicians and chefs!
Why It Matters
With the incredible support from Beyoncé’s foundation, known for her dedication to food justice, Hilton-Williams is adamant about the necessity of making a significant shift from merely managing diseases to achieving genuine wellness through whole food and plant-based nutrition. It’s not just about eating; it’s about nourishing our bodies the right way!
Get Ready for Mouthwatering Experiences!
The excitement doesn’t stop there! Harold Leffall, a renowned author and cancer survivor, will be showcasing juicing demonstrations. “Everything we put in our mouth either feeds disease or fights disease,” he enthusiastically stated. We are looking forward to learning from him and understanding how to make better dietary choices, like trying out the revolutionary Wellness Shot!
Who’s Leading the Charge?
Hosting this fantastic summit is the charismatic Javon Johnson, the brilliant actor and director known for his role in Tyler Perry’s The Oval. Attendees will stroll through various themed tasting stations prepared by top BIPOC chefs—how amazing does that sound? You’ll not only gain valuable tools from expert presenters, but you’ll also enjoy three themed tasting stations, juicing demonstrations, and some creative, lively vendors. It’s going to be an event packed with knowledge and flavor that you won’t want to miss!
