We're honored to be chatting with Marta Rivera Diaz (Sense & Edibility) in this special episode of Tastemaker Talk. Please note: This episode engages with nuanced social, political, and historical realities. We approach these topics with care, but some listeners may find parts of the conversation challenging or emotionally charged.

Marta is a San Antonio local and trusted advocate in the Tastemaker community, and today we're having an honest conversation about the nuances of hosting our 2027 event in San Antonio. This conversation comes at a time when political tensions are high, and we wanted to dive head-first into the realities of San Antonio's political, cultural, and geographical histories--and what that means for us as a community intending to gather there.

Tune in, and let us know your thoughts and follow-up questions in the comments! 🫶
