The Plant Based Afrikan Center for Nutrition

The Plant Based Afrikan Center for Nutrition (PBA Center) is a leading community wellness hub dedicated to guiding clients toward optimal health using evidence-based plant-based nutrition strategies. For more than 25 years, the PBA Center has empowered people — particularly those of African descent — to improve health, mitigate disease and achieve lasting results through wholesome, plant-based living.

Founded by Sadeek Colquitt, the centre offers The PBA Personal Protocol (a 30-to-90-day comprehensive health transformation programme), nutrition coaching, community cooking workshops, health screenings and the Plant-Based Afrikan Support Village subscription programme. Their 31-Day January Vegan Challenge has helped thousands take their first steps toward a plant-based lifestyle.

Their mission is to combat diet-related diseases through education, access to wholesome food and a deep cultural connection to ancestral plant-based traditions. The PBA Center is closely connected to the Village of Peace community and carries forward the community's 50-year legacy of vegan living into Chicago's African American communities.
