#0023: Kara Rota on food, feminism + being a woman online

Growing up outside of Philadelphia and Chicago with an Italian father and a mother who was a macrobiotic chef-turned-raw vegan, Kara was always immersed in the culture and values behind why people eat what they do. We also challenge some pervasive myths about the “right” way to eat in this episode. Brooklyn-based Kara is a strong proponent for girls & women as well as a Digital Media Mentor for Girls Write Now. As our conversation twists and turns, we examine what it’s like to be a modern woman working in publishing and living a life online – selfie culture, our relationship to technology, intersectional feminism, handling outrage on the internet, and considering when to speak up.This episode is chock full of food for thought.Selected link love + resources from the episodeConnect with Kara on social media: TwitterSt. Martin’s PressMacmillan PublishersClever Cookstr (podcast)Quick & Dirty Tips (series of podcasts)CookstrGirls Write NowIrish America MagazineMill 180 Park - Reimagining the Great Urban ParkSt. Martin’s Griffin (imprint of Macmillan)Freshman Year of Life by MinSumo (book)Intersectional feminismFlatiron Books (imprint of Macmillan)Will SchwalbeThe Gefilte Manifesto by Jeffrey Yoskowitz and Liz AlpernKachka (restaurant) and Chef Bonnie MoralesThe Laws of Cooking: And How to Break Them by Justin Warner (book)Miguel Bañuelos of Salsa PistoleroGolden Compass by Philip Pullman (book series)Activism blocking on Facebook (article)You've Got Mail (movie)Angela Davis (author and activist)The Babysitter's Club (book series)The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood (book)Bullet Journal (method of task management)The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster and Jules Feiffer (book)Joy by Zadie Smith (essay)Minda Harts of The Memo (Catch Minda on Le vital corps Salon here.)Jack Jones Literary ArtsA Memes to an End: How Feminist Meme-Makers Are Challenging Trump’s America Online (article)In Defense of Memes (article)Safety Pin BoxFemsplain/Aloe (self-care)Kickass Theme Music: “Things Are Getting Better” Written by Rishi Dhir.
