We’re counting down the days to Jubilee L.A., our big conference taking place Sunday, Sept. 28th. In the spirit of what’s to come, we’re revisiting one of the most powerful conversations from this year’s Jubilee in New York City: “Meet the Moment: The Power of Food and Storytelling in Creating Change.”

Moderated by writer and cookbook author Klancy Miller of “For the Culture,” this inspiring panel brings together an incredible group of changemakers: Paola Velez, founder of Bakers Against Racism; pastry chef and queen of the charity bake sale Natasha Pickowicz; recipe developer and author of “Third Culture Cooking” Zaynab Issa; and Emmy Award–winning documentary producer Deb Freeman of “Finding Edna Lewis.” They’re introduced by chef Lana Lagomarsini, a “Top Chef” semifinalist known for her beloved Juneteenth cookouts in New York City.

Together, these women reflect on how food and storytelling can move culture, spark change, and bring communities together—something we all need more of right now.
