In this episode, I discuss a bit about the role of the cultural appropriateness of food in tackling food insecurity and chat with Chef Rachel Adjei, the founder of The Abibiman Project. The Abibiman Project is an initiative started by Rachel in October 2020, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, that uses African cuisine and ingredients to help promote social justice and reduce food insecurity in Toronto's black community.  

In this episode, we’ll touch on:

• How The Abibiman Project got started and has grown
• Food security and its impact on newcomers
• The role of cultural appropriateness of food in food justice
• How Rachel uses food to build community
• and much more!
