DeeBee's Organics: Dr. Dionne Baker

In this episode I am joined by Dr. Dionne Baker, Founder of DeeBee's Organics, all-natural SuperFruit Freezie Pops & fruit-filled treats. With a Ph.D. in maternal-fetal toxicology, her research focused on the effects of chemical exposure during pregnancy on fetal development. When her youngest child struggled to find snacks he could enjoy like other kids, Dionne was inspired to create fun, joyful snacks made with Organic fruit. Recognizing the profound impact of food choices on well-being, she founded DeeBee's Organics with a mission to transform the frozen treat industry by promoting clean, wholesome ingredients. DeeBee's Organics is not just about snacks; it's about feeding our families, doing business differently, and creating a legacy that will impact future generations.
