The Hub links up with the multi-talented Alby Alawoya and talks Black life and community through Alby's many projects!
Alby Alawoya, a prideful and hardworking Afro-Latina. Her father is from Nigeria and her grandmother migrated to The US from Cuba. When asked “what do you do for a living right now?” Alby's answer is always “whatever it takes.”
Projects:
IT TAKES TIME
@ittakestimepodcast
https://linktr.ee/ittakestimepodcast
A podcast founded on the idea that we live in a microwave society so eager for instant gratification in all things. Sometimes it’s okay to put it in the oven. We share dialogue ranging from sex to politics to serve as a reminder, that it takes time.
Mother’s Cooking Experience
@motherscooking_humboldt
https://www.motherscookingexperience.com/
A pop-up cooking class originally based out of Leimert Park in Los Angeles. The company began as a community-based co-op that planted community gardens and taught inner-city children recipes with the fruits and vegetables they planted. In February 2020 we hosted our first all adult class partnering with a local restaurant supply store. The Covid-19 pandemic shifted the company’s focus again to a full-service delivery kitchen in Arcata California.
Community Drive-in Cinemas
@communitydrivein
https://www.communitydriveincinemas.com/
A drive-in theatre that thrived off of community choice and feedback launched in Humboldt County in January 2021!
