Sugar Mode Off: Spreading Awareness about Sugar

Kashundra (Shun) Foreman worked as a nurse for more than two decades before pursuing a master’s degree in human rights and social justice. She noticed many instances of injustice faced by Black American communities and realized that healthcare could help shed light on the health disparities experienced by people of color. During her graduate studies, Shun focused on the history of sugar in black communities. She traveled to sugar plantations in Louisiana and Sugar Land, Texas, to learn more about convict leasing and to understand the sugar industry’s role in Black American history. Her conversations with the late Reginald Moore in Sugar Land and plantation tours played a significant role in inspiring her to cut sugar from her diet, lose over fifty pounds, and raise awareness about sugar among communities of color. Shun continued her studies and became certified and licensed in holistic medicine and sugar addiction by Bitten Jonsson. She founded Sisters Breaking the Bonds of Sugar to raise awareness about sugar among Black Americans. Shun also serves as a sugar mentor for those who struggle with sugar, food, or carbohydrate addiction. She believes that raising awareness about the dangers of sugar can save lives in communities of color and is proud to have received testimonials from her clients. Shun frequently features as a guest on podcasts and has appeared on Hungry for Answers, a show produced by Viola Davis and hosted by Caroline Randall Williams. Upon your request, Shun is available to provide presentations, consultations, and coaching for1:1 clients, group and corporate events.
