Meet Our Founder
At 21, my body stopped responding as it should—my mind was sharp, but my movements failed me. For 13 years, I searched for answers, dismissed and misdiagnosed, until finally receiving a Young Onset Parkinson’s Disease (YOPD) diagnosis. My struggle isn’t unique—84% of women feel unheard by doctors, and 57% believe they’ve been misdiagnosed. Sources (Source: TODAY, 2022; Mayo Clinic, 2021).
This is why I founded The Thriving Brain & Development (TBD) Project—to advance brain health, neurological education, and food security in underserved communities. We bridge healthcare gaps by:
-
Launching Cooking with Chef Traci in April, providing brain-healthy meal prep kits to families in need.
-
Educating youth through a K-12 Brain Health Initiative.
-
Hosting a Fireside Chat Tour, bringing neurological education to college campuses.
-
Addressing food insecurity through local partnerships.
We empower schools to integrate brain health and conservation into math, language, and science, enriching education with meaningful connections.
