March 07, 2020 21: I Want to be Black as Hell (feat. The African Diaspora Alliance)
In this week's episode, I sit down with Jasmine and Michael of The African Diaspora Alliance (ADA). ADA holistically connects descendants of Africa to the global African community through their international excursions, youth programs and workshops. In a world where we as a people are oppressed and killed based on our mere existence, it is more important now than ever to connect to our brothers and sisters of the diaspora. After really exploring where our roots and foundation really comes from, I think you'll be surprised to learn we are not as different as we appear.

February 28, 2020 20: How to Make Vegetable-Based Meat Substitutes
In this week's episode, we discuss how to replace meat without relying on processed meat substitutes. With the surge of new "fake" meats hitting the market we need to take a step back and connect to the land with what we know to be true. Regardless of what you eat, plants are the foundation for a healthy and nutritious human experience. Getting creative with vegetables really does change our food landscape for the better, and creates a new standard for what good food is.
