Kimberly Roberson

Kimberly Roberson worked most of her adult life in the fields of environmental activism and holistic nutrition education before becoming a mother. From early in her career, she worked on anti-nuclear and other social justice campaigns at Sane/Freeze, CALPIRG and Greenpeace in Washington DC, Los Angeles and San Francisco; learned about natural health and organic food while living and working on a community farm in Bolinas, California; studied holistic nutrition at Bauman College; and then owned New Health Design in San Rafael and San Francisco.

Kimberly's passion for natural health led her to serve on the board of the National Association of Nutrition Professionals; she was also the founding vice-president for their California chapter. Kimberly has lobbied for environmental and natural health issues on the state and federal level in Sacramento and Washington, DC, and at the Food and Drug Administration in Maryland. After Fukushima erupted she wrote a petition calling for radiation monitoring of food, milk and water, which led to the formation of the Fukushima Fallout Awareness Network (FFAN). 'Silence Deafening, Fukushima Fallout ... A Mother's Response,' is her first book.
