OUR THEORY OF CHANGE:
We are stronger together.
BIPOC Foodways Alliance provides a platform for marginalized communities to tell their authentic stories using the powerful tool of home cooking. We bring in an intentionally diverse audience to partake in these experiences, which we document with the help of BIPOC creators.
Hearing stories through shared food breaks down cultural barriers and builds empathy, understanding, and cross-cultural competence.

Why BIPOC Foodways Alliance?
We can reconnect with our ancestry through food and also tell the story of how we could be much stronger together if we can align.

The Sioux Chef
Having people from diverse backgrounds coming to share stories and commonalities over food is an unbelievably powerful way to spread goodwill in the community.

In my opinion, the people who are the true holders of knowledge and keepers of cuisine are women, immigrant women, women of color, and elders.
