Fermentations

Soul Food Sisters is a collective based in Glasgow and is run by migrant women who are driven by their love of making and sharing delicious food. The not for profit organisation brings together women from all over the world to share recipes and ideas, with the aim of ending social isolation through empowering women to develop their skills in both the kitchen and beyond. In collaboration with Bella Caledonia, we got the chance to speak with their volunteer coordinator, Djamila Siagh, to discuss the work of the organisation and the value and power of food and community. Produced by Amanda Stanley and Kate Bailey. Music and branding by HQFU. Soul Food Sisters: soulfoodsisters.org // IG: @soulfoodsisters_

Description: Can sis white men stop stealing the work of women, LGBTQI+NB and POC? Apparently not. And, apparently, they can't even do due diligence to protect it. We're off hiatus for a bonus episode in which we discuss how a White Man Stole From A Newsletter About For Women/Trans/Non-Binary people to Brand His Shitty, Redundant Food Platform. AKA, How Mark Bittman via Medium.com stole from Salty. We also give you an update on Season Two of the podcast and throw some zesty nuggets in like how to tell what kind of L word character you are by designing a soup. It can't be all appropriation, colonialism and tired patriarchal tropes….

The beer industry is riddled with bigotry and the same oppressive structures of big-player gastronomy. Our two part series "Brews Clues'' explore how, why and how it really is.

We interview journalist Lena Rutkowski about her campaign for accountability in the aftermath of Mikkeller and Girls Are Awesome collaborating on "Female" a "beer for women".
