How do we illuminate the souls of people & places?

The morning I watched Pati Jinich's documentary on the US-Mexico border coincided with a jarring decision being made in our country. It's the reason that I remained hopeful amidst the news. La Frontera is a manifestation of Pati's mission to share the souls of people and places and the food that brings us together. That morning, it was also a lesson on the hope we inspire when we focus on the best in who we are. As a revered chef, cookbook author, and TV host, Pati illustrates how each of our journeys contributes to our collective vitality. These stories, told over 11 seasons of Pati's Mexican Table, offer a glimpse into our shared humanity. Our conversation is a rich exploration of the gifts of her journey, from cultivating compassion to expanding our sense of belonging and accepting that "what we have is what we have right now."
