Sistahs Who Lead
Introducing: The Nutrition Tea
Hey SistahGurls,
I’ve created a new section within SistahCare Alliance that directs you to other black women who work in healthcare to empower and educate us, titled Sistahs Who Lead. There are over 75K Substack newsletters, and I’m not sure how many are dedicated to health and advocacy, but I want to make it my mission to find out. SistahCare Alliance is a community-based advocacy first. My job as the founder is to provide resources that are accessible to you.
Please take a few moments to read over the list and follow/subscribe to their newsletters.

The Nutrition Tea
Registered Dietitian Nutritionist based in Brooklyn, New York. I describe myself as an "all foods fit" dietitian. Life is already complicated, why restrict yourself unnecessarily? My goal is to create platforms for open discussion on nutrition and wellness topics that are inclusive, non diet, and weight neutral, all with an intersectionality of social justice. And no, I was not always interested in nutrition, and in the not so long ago past, I worked in the fashion industry and hated it. (The joke is: she got a B.S in Fashion Merchandising...get it?) I finally decided to make a change, go back to school and became involved in food policy and public health, where I currently work. In addition to this, I own my business, The Nutrition Teaâ„¢ which provides consulting and counseling work.
As SistahCare Alliance grows, I want to be transparent—I'm currently the sole person running this newsletter, along with two others. I curate resources, find expert-backed information, and create a space dedicated to advocating for Black women's healthcare experiences.
This work is vital to me, but it is also time-consuming and labor-intensive. That's why I've introduced BuyMeACoffee not as a barrier but as a way to sustain and expand this work. Compensation allows me to continue providing well-researched tools, exclusive resources, and community support that Black women deserve. If you find value in what SistahCare Alliance offers, I'd love for you to support this mission in whatever way feels right.
Sincerely,
Teisha LeShea, The Founder
