In her Makings of You episode, Linda shares her southern Oklahoma upbringing, discovering her queer identity, non-profit leadership, journey with food insecurity, and overall great personality.
Linda has dedicated 30+ years of experience working in the hunger solutions non-profit field, including 25 years as CEO of Food Lifeline in Seattle and a member of the Feeding America national network of food banks, state associations, pantries, and meal programs. She is passionate about the power of collaboration, holds a deep commitment to centering racial equity as foundational to ending hunger, and believes fervently that all people should have access to the food they need not just to live – but to thrive.
We met Linda as our CEO during our employment in Seattle, WA. Linda showed compassion, leadership, professionalism, and genuine empathy for the organization’s mission. Since starting at Food Lifeline, Linda has led the organization as it grew from a small nonprofit to a vibrate, thriving hunger relief organization providing nutritious, culturally relevant food throughout the community, supporting and advancing community-based initiatives that reduce food insecurity, and addressing the root causes of hunger and food insecurity through policy advocacy.
In 2010, Feeding America recognized her as the executive director of the year 2010. Nageotte was named a John van Hengel Fellow in 2012, an award recognizing a network food bank executive for excellence in leadership, local impact and national influence, and entrepreneurial spirit in hunger relief.
Before Food Lifeline, Nageotte served as the executive director for Harvest Against Hunger and Sojourners Alliance. She earned her bachelor’s degree from the University of Oklahoma and completed graduate coursework in counseling at Washington State University.
This episode was recorded in October 2023 in Seattle, WA. One week before, she relocated to Chicago, IL, to begin her position at Feeding America, and one week before, we relocated back to Houston, TX. We greatly appreciate being able to share this conversation and individual with our audience. Linda has shown support for Everythang Culture and recognized its intent and potential.
Thank you, Linda, and thank you all for your continued support!

Freaknik was an annual spring break event that took place in Atlanta, Georgia, in the United States between 1983 and 1997. It was a celebration of black culture and music that drew thousands of college students and young people from across the country.
The event was known for its party atmosphere, with music, dancing, and drinking taking place on the streets of Atlanta. However, it also had a reputation for being rowdy and sometimes violent, leading to calls for it to be shut down.
Despite this controversy, Freaknik remains a cultural touchstone for many in the African American community, representing a time of joy and celebration in the face of adversity.
In this episode, we invite Byanka, an Atlanta native, and Clark Atlanta alumni to discuss the culture of Freaknik and Atlanta.
