Chernice Lane Benjamin

Food for Life Instructor

Chernice Lane Benjamin

In November 2012, while attending the annual Northeast Florida VegFest, Chernice met Food for Life instructor Heather Borders. Heather gave her testimony how a plant-based diet lowered her husband’s cholesterol level. This caught Chernice's attention because of her mother’s sudden death the previous year. Chernice was skeptical of a plant-based diet lifestyle until she watched the documentary Forks Over Knives. In March 2013, Chernice participated in the 21-Day Kickstart and stayed connected with the Physicians Committee for recipes, information, referrals, and life-changing testimonies. Now, Chernice assists Heather with community nutrition education and food preparation and she independently conducts her own Food for Life classes in her community.
