New York City’s annual Easter Bonnet Festival, a celebration that dates back to the 1870s, is a celebration of craftiness and creativity.
The event began as a post-mass stylish fashion show, but it’s a spectacle of floral whimsy and pageantry. Read More: https://divabetic.org/2023/04/10/easter-bonnet-festival-on-fifth-avenue/
Thank you for all the heartfelt messages regarding my recent post about the upcoming Luther documentary. It's a thrill to see and hear how much he is still loved by so many.
I want everyone to know that I am NOT directly involved in the project.
My boss was a complex, multi-talented, multi-faceted, funny, smart, demanding, and generous person. I doubt a 90-minute or 2-hour documentary will be able to capture all the aspects of his life and career in a way that will appeal to and satisfy everyone. However, I will gladly still promote this documentary when it comes out because it was an honor and privilege to have worked for him. It still amazes me that I worked for him!
For the past 20 years, my life's focus has been to raise awareness for diabetes, self-care, the health complications related to mismanaged diabetes, and the need to take early action when experiencing a stroke. This is how I honor Luther's legacy. I encourage others to 'keep their house a home' by learning how to prevent and/or delay complications such as stroke, blindness, kidney failure, and amputation from occurring.
The World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes the language around diabetes is critical to ending diabetes stigma, blame, and shame.
The organization surveyed more than 900 people with lived experiences of diabetes to learn about what effective diabetes language means for them.
Many people argue they should focus on finding a cure rather than language, but why can't they do both? Changing the way we speak to ourselves and others about diabetes is essential.

By the time Luther Vandross headed to the studio to record his fifth album Give Me the Reason in 1986, he’d become one of the most successful soul singers of the first half of the eighties. His four previous albums have been either certified platinum or double-platinum in America.
For Luther Vandross’ fifth album Give Me the Reason, the album comprised nine tracks including the hits: So Amazing, There's Nothing Better Than Love, Stop To Love and Give Me The Reason.
Throughout the podcast, we will feature music from Luther Vandross's Give Me The Reason album courtesy of SONY Music.
Tonight we're celebrating the music legacy of Luther Vandross and raising awareness for diabetes health-related complications (such as strok

Nothing beats presenting diabetes outreach with DAZZLE at the Apollo Theater. One of my all-time favorite moments in Divabetic history was playing Serve, Taste, or Trash! Food Game at the Apollo Theater because it was an opportunity to combine honoring Luther’s musical legacy with diabetes wellness outreach.
The game’s initial goal was to allow confessed picky eaters to express dislike of certain fruits and vegetables and then challenge them to try them differently. The game was born out of my dislike of peas.
Experts agree that we shouldn’t overwhelm ourselves with a plate full of new foods. Instead, serve familiar favorites and one new food you’re ready to try. Commit to just a few bites. You’ll still have something to eat if you don’t like it.
However, Serve, Taste, or Trash‘s aim morphed into raising awareness for the amount of added sugars in popular food and drinks.
On this episode of Divabetic’s podcast, we’re talking about ADDED SUGARS with musical inspiration from Sade.
Added sugars contribute calories to your diet but no essential nutrients.
Many people consume more sugar than they realize. Knowing how much sugar you consume is essential because our bodies don’t need sugar to function properly.
How Much ADDED SUGAR Is Too Much?

I met up with one of my all-time favorite educators and friends, MaryAnn Nicolay, and her husband, David, at the 'Evening With Itzhak Perlman performance in Akron, OH, this week. MaryAnn and I have known each other for almost twenty years. We first met when she was the lead educator for our 'Divabetic-Makeover Your Diabetes' outreach program in Cleveland, OH. With MaryAnn's help and expertise, we presented our Diva brand of diabetes outreach to over 1,000 people. It was incredible! For several years, MaryAnn also presented and produced the highly successful Diva Club, a free monthly meeting for women at risk, affected by and living with diabetes, in Cleveland. Today, MaryAnn still actively participates in our annual Mystery podcast and Zoom programs. I'm so thankful for her support and friendship over the years. Her no-nonsense and friendly approach to educating and empowering people with diabetes has inspired me in many ways. I can't imagine Divabetic without her. She's been such an incredible friend and ally. I'm grateful that my hectic touring schedule has allowed me to see some of my all-time favorite divas in the various cities Divabetic has outreached to over the years.
Your attitude is everything.
