Project "GROW Oakland" trains young people to become chefs, and to build job skills and encourage healthy eating habits. Some youth are on probation, while others are -- or were -- in the foster care system. As part of our ongoing series of first-person health profiles called "What's Your Story?" 19-year-old Kawanzza Byrd, a former foster youth, says the program has changed the way she eats.
