Here at Championing Autism, we believe that nutrition is key to overcoming challenges and unlocking strengths in autism. As a mom and CEO, I am committed to raising awareness on how nourishing the brain can improve autism traits, helping individuals thrive by focusing on their strongest abilities and building their talents. Our book, Food Matters: Unlocking the Autism Plate, published in three languages, empowers families across Africa with the knowledge to support autism through wholesome foods and holistic well-being.

"La nutrition un lien clé mis en lumière"
Sel chère! Thank you for your relentless advocacy! I knew about autism thanks to your posts and awareness years before I became a Mom, and eventually joined the journey too. Your dedication is the beacon of hope for many families with new diagnosis, including us. Truly thankful to God for you and Moms like you that opened up about their journey. You and Darius give us hope everyday. Absolutely proud of what you are doing and grateful for God's gift in you. Tellement fière de toi Berchi
