As we conclude the chapter, it is evident that the fight against Anti-Black Racism (ABR) in Canadian dietetics has seen significant progress due to the unwavering efforts of individuals, organizations, and communities. The achievements outlined herein demonstrate a collective commitment to addressing systemic inequities and promoting inclusive practices within the field. Moving forward, it is essential to continue building on these successes by engaging in ongoing education, advocacy, and reflection. By remaining dedicated to these principles, we can contribute to a more equitable and inclusive future in dietetics.<\/p>\r\n

We encourage you to stay connected and support the work of each of these advocates. Witness the advancements they continue to make as this work progresses and expands.<\/p>","rendered":"
