Thank you to Melanie Townsend for inviting me to join her on Fox40 Sacramento in celebration of Women’s History Month.
While I showed up on the last day of March, it’s important to continue the celebration and recognition of the everyday ways women are shaping our world with intention, impact, innovation, diversity, inclusion, and care.
I had the pleasure of sharing my Plant’ish Thai Coconut Lime Jasmine Rice Bowl with rice directly from Sacramento while also talking about my involvement with OneKitchen.
OneKitchen is a statewide advocacy organization, established in Sacramento through
@wholesomewave , that brings chefs into the conversation around food policy. We’re connected with chefs across California, using our voice and experience to help shape systems around nutrition, food access, and workforce development.
What makes it especially powerful is that it’s a collective of some of California’s most respected chefs lending their voice and advocacy to create lasting impact, specifically in school food and public health.
Through efforts like Kitchen Infrastructure and Training funding, schools are able to shift toward fresh, scratch cooking, invest in their teams, and build stronger, more resilient food systems.
We had a delicious conversation rich in food for thought and nourishment.🙌🏽🌱☀️
