Antoinette Watkins is the founder of The Diabaddie Organization, Inc. and was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) in 2006. In this episode, we cover everything from keeping a community over competition mindset, staying organized, to finding the time to start (SPOILER ALERT- IT'S NOW).
Diabaddie's mission is to educate, expand the representation of individuals living with diabetes, promote health, connect with others, and inspire beauty through diversity. Additionally, they are committed to providing scholarships for children with T1D to attend Diabetes Camps, so that the campers acquire the knowledge and resources necessary to self-manage their disease.
