Our work at the AIP BIPOC Network started in 2022, when conversations at the AIP Summit continued beyond the event and turned into ongoing roundtables centered on what BIPOC patients were experiencing. Those conversations grew into formal programming, and we became a nonprofit in 2023. We began with AIP (Autoimmune Protocol) as the core, and over time it became clear that food protocols alone could not solve what Access, Inclusion, and Prevention were failing to support. That is how our current dual framework developed.
