Fit to EmpowHER
Millions of Americans are affected by food insecurity and diet-related diseases. The toll disproportionately impacts underserved communities and women. Danone’s Light + Fit brand, in collaboration with FoodMinds, launched Fit to EmpowHER – a women’s health educational initiative supporting female leaders dedicated to fostering a culture of wellness while championing equitable access to nutrition education for women and girls in their communities. Our campaign exceeded goals of leveling the playing field on health and nutrition by raising awareness about Light + Fit’s commitment to empowering women and girls and inspiring high-quality applications from health and nutrition education leaders.
