Mary-June possesses cutting edge knowledge of this highly pertinent and dynamic field. After graduating from an undergraduate degree in Dietetics and Biology at Lipscomb University and a post graduate degree in Medical Nutrition Sciences at Boston University School of Medicine. Mary-June started Southern Meets Urban as a creative outlet to share recipes, entertaining ideas along with timely and tangible nutrition information for others to immediately benefit from. Mary-June started this blog to honor her Southern heritage and in particular my grandmother who is still the greatest influences in her life. Mary-June's grandmother taught her everything she knows about gracious Southern living. From them I learned to dress and act like a lady, to take pride in my home, to reach out to help a neighbor, and to always invite everyone in for a visit. Moving away from Nashville with her own family, Mary-June wanted to recapture and celebrate all that she loves and remember about her grandmother in the South. There is a special breed of charm and grace that’s signature to the American South.
