MICHELLE ZIVE

Michelle Zive, PhD, MS, RD has been a registered dietitian for over 30 years. She realized early in her career she wasn’t interested in doing one-one-one nutrition consults, instead she found her passion in getting funding to lead large public and community health projects at UC San Diego. In her 40s, Zive was told she’d become invisible at 50. So, she got her PhD at 52. In her first doctoral leadership class, there wasn’t one woman leader mentioned. This was the first time as an “older woman” she felt invisible and irrelevant. The irony was not lost on her that she had pursued her PhD to feel seen and heard, and she wasn’t. As result, she founded Representation Rebellion which is a movement for women to disrupt the stories they sell and tell us by telling our own. She is creating a journal called, “Pick Up This Fucking Journal” to help women rewrite their story. Zive is committed to women healing, practicing self-devotion, and being the hero of their story (and not a supporting character).
