History
Established in 2013.
On February 8, 2013, Charmaine Jones started a blog that imparted nutrition advice and shared individual weight loss stories. Charmaine's blog inspired readers to "kick to the curb" poor eating habits and lifestyle behaviors and adopt new ones. Charmaine's followers also found her blog to be a tremendous resource for weight loss tips, food and nutrition information, and delicious recipes. Upon receiving countless reader comments and follower feedback, Charmaine recognized a need to offer affordable nutrition services to urban communities, single mothers, and busy professionals who were struggling to meet their health, nutrition, and weight loss goals. As a result, Food Jonezi was founded later that year to fill this gap and address nutritional barriers.
