Through the dietetic internship at McNeese, we are exposed to many experiences around the community. The Partnership for a Healthier Southwest Louisiana is an initiative composed of many programs that aim at helping people in the Lake Charles area. It raises awareness of the resources in the community to help people make healthier choices. Through the LSU AgCenter Extension, I was able to attend one of the programs set up by the Partnership. The K.I.S.S Project is for women, with emphasis on African Americans, who are in low-income households with the desire to lose weight. This group of women meets about three days a week to work out and attend nutrition classes. Each week, a new nutrition lesson is presented based on MyPlate. The week that I went to the K.I.S.S Project meeting, my preceptor presented on dairy and protein and I presented on whole grains. I used food models, posters, and handouts to inform the women about making the best choices in terms of whole grains. I explained the difference between fortified and enriched and reviewed reading the nutrition label. The women stayed very involved in the class by asking questions, sharing ideas, and responding to my questions. About twenty women attended the meeting and door prizes were given at the end. These women were motivated, open to new ideas, and determined to make healthier choices. I felt very fortunate to attend this meeting and help with the Partnership for a Healthier Southwest Louisiana. Through this class, I was able to see the benefits of the Partnership and what it is doing for the community.
