Shireen Abdullah

 After spending most of her career as a project manager and management consultant, Shireen decided to change paths and pursue her passion to become a nutri-prenuer.  While managing her own illness, she realized the importance of cultural nutrition education paired with an empowering, patient-centered care model to close gaps in health equity for minorities. Her startup is called Yumlish, an AI-powered culturally-relevant nutrition therapy platform for minorities with diabetes that addresses socioeconomic barriers to dietary adherence.
