AS FEATURED ON
My Journey
Qiana Drew is a singer & actress who has worked with the likes of Missy Elliot, L.A. Reid, and has even made it on to the American Idol Hollywood stage. Diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the beginning of her entertainment career, there was no way anything would get in the way of her success until the secret she held on to for ten years started to wreak havoc on her body. It was an eating disorder that made it impossible to put the importance of diabetes management above all else.
Upon her recovery from Diabulimia, she was inspired to go back to college to pursue a degree in Nutrition for Wellness, and founded the diabetes non-profit organization “The Anchor Holds,” in addition to "Diabetic Wellness Culture" - a platform that highlights the art of living with diabetes. Today, Qiana is dedicated to helping people with diabetes set the foundation for wellness as a diabetes peer mentor and educator.
