Food, History, Culture, and the Continuing March for Justice

The month of February marks the celebration of Black History Month, through which we honor and commemorate the leaders and contributions of our Black communities and neighbors across the country. While voting rights and fair treatment are rightfully emphasized, there is a lesser-talked about component of civil rights: food justice. On this episode of Voices to End Hunger, Minerva Delgado speaks to Tambra Stevenson, Founder and CEO of Women Advancing Nutrition, Dietetics, and Agriculture, or WANDA. Tambra brings a unique and insightful perspective of the key role that food, nutrition, meals, culture, and culinary history have and are playing in the struggle for justice across the country in both historical and modern practice. She also describes the work that WANDA is doing, and how everyday people can participate in building up a community and culture of justice around kitchen tables and beyond.Host: Minerva Delgado, Alliance to End HungerGuest: Tambra Raye Stevenson, Founder/CEO, WANDA: Women Advancing Nutrition, Dietetics and AgricultureLearn more about Women Advancing Nutrition, Dietetics, and Agriculture (WANDA).
