Have you eaten? In this episode on food, first of a few, Trixie and Céline discuss appropriation and moralizing of food, food as a love language, force of cultural reclamation, and source of sustenance in collective memory-making and resisting white supremacy and gentrification. Trixie also talks about her work at Flavours of Hope with newcomer refugee women and food as creating community and belonging. In future food episodes, we’ll touch on food sovereignty, food systems, and more. Got a topic you want us to talk about, or a guest idea? Email resettingthetablepodcast@gmail.com.
We did it, people, we made a first season! This is the last episode of season 1. Our podcast team will be taking a pause to rest and rack up a few more episodes in advance this summer. Thanks for the support - we’re incredibly nourished by the community and conversations emerging from this podcast, and we are excited to continue this work together. Onwards!
Transcript coming soon.
