Ethnic Discourses

This episode we will take a virtual skip across the gulf and take up a full conversation with Jamaica as our background and center-plate. We will discuss the culture, politics, and challenges that accompany entrepreneurship efforts to educate on with food being the conduit.

We engage in a rich and robust conversation with the owner and top chef at Queen Sheba Ethiopian restaurant in Sacramento, CA. Not only is food appraised, but the international context in which food enlivens the places we live, yet is a cultural carry-bag, is appreciated.

In this episode I explain, thematically, the origins of the need to develop a podcast wherein narratives that have customarily been ignored are centered. I use as a backdrop the Black Lives Matter protest, and interrogate the notion by asking "Do" those lives matter?

For those who crave edgy and no-holds-barred conversations with narratives that are sometimes reduced to margins and footnotes, Ethnic Discourses puts those voices and stories front and center that comprise the political, economic, social, historical, theological, and other nuances of being while unforgivably seeking unfettered equality.
