Icolin Sewell, 61, of Bridgeport, says she’s in a good place now but has spent decades battling a weight problem.
She says she has been chasing after the ideal of her younger self, back in Jamaica.
Sewell says she did a 180 and was able to take control of her weight when she met Dr. Dana Wade, of Bridgeport – a medical doctor with an MBA who is on a mission to help communities of color overcome weight issues.
Mcallister says she can recall the days when she had to take insulin to keep her blood sugar stable, but all of that changed when she learned about a Bridgeport nonprofit called Monitor My Health.
