In episode 6 of the Food Solidarity Podcast, we speak with Nora Fitzgerald, founder of Amal Center.  Amal is located in Marrakesh, Morrocco, and is both a restaurant and a culinary training program that empowers women to work within the food industry.  

Amal is about empowering these women to work within the fast-paced and intricate world of gastronomy. As Nora puts it, "it's not about parachuting a model of empowerment, but it's about what really works in the community. It's coming from the community."  Like many organizations and restaurants this year, COVID has disrupted Amal's practices and forced Nora and her team to respond in a way that is driven by creativity and service.
