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?
"...everything on the menu prepared with such care and love but everyone around the table made the evening so special. It was truly a global table as there were more than ten countries represented and the storytelling and laughter we all shared made it feel like home. BFA is doing the work that we all need in our communities."

“I love attending the BIPOC Foodways Alliance Immigrant Kitchen Dinners. For me, they have been like a photo album in real time; real life. The meals evoke much emotion and joy and comfort in me. I get to learn and eat. I feel welcomed and cared for before I even take my seat! It’s like one big family reunion with all colors of relatives that have come from far and wide to be together. ”
