Mieko Scott is an Oakland-based educator, entrepreneur and Co-Founder of Hella Nuts, a plant-based cafe in West Oakland (scheduled to open this summer). Before becoming aware of the benefits of a plant-based diet, Mieko grew up eating a poor diet, mostly of meat. Now, as an adult and mother, both she and her daughter, Kamari, have evolved their wisdom and healing experience to develop the most delicious and healthy plant-based food in the Bay Area.

Her vision of wellness is having everyone learn what their particular health needs are. Concerned that people of color tend to self-diagnosis their illnesses and are often fed prescription medicines, by doctors who strictly practice traditional Western medicine, Mieko’s goal is to bring awareness to our wellness needs while overcoming the current health epidemic. “Eating poorly, “over-kill” on prescription meds, etc. are issues that we face due to mis-education.” She adds that some holistic remedies do work, but our dependence solely on herbs leaves us deplete of the essential vitamins and minerals we need for our physical health, and mind-body balance.

Hear more about Mieko’s journey and her principles to re-ignite the body-soul connection that helps us thrive as womxn of color. You will participate in preparing a delicious vegan meal, dine with like-minded folks, have your questions answered, and take home your tasty protein drink and recipes to share with family and friends. Register early, Space is limited to 20 Womxn o f Color (WOC) participants. Gender-neutral restrooms.
