Ms. Rita Richardson Jackson

Rita Richardson Jackson is a graduate of The Ohio State University with a Master of Arts in Health Education, specializing in nutrition and human sexuality. During her graduate studies, she completed certification seminars with William H. Masters and Virginia E. Johnson, the pioneering research team whose groundbreaking studies of human sexual response helped establish the modern field of sex therapy. Her post‑graduate training at Indiana University includes specialized certification in the use of the Kinsey Scale, the revolutionary framework that reconceptualized sexual orientation as a continuum rather than a fixed category.

A visionary culinary artist, wellness alchemist, and founder of Tea Witch™ and What Dat Tea Do?™, Rita blends Southern-rooted wisdom, ancestral storytelling, and scientific rigor to create immersive experiences that nourish both body and spirit. Her decades of experience as an educator and researcher—including work in toxicology and physiology at the Harvard University School of Public Health—inform her rare ability to merge academic depth with kitchen magic and cultural literacy.

She is the author of several books published on Amazon, including Deep Southern Cooking with Rita Jackson, Cooking Up Black History, and Marriage On Demand: Close the Deal! Marry Your Guy in 6 Months to 1 Year.
