Watch episode 110 with Kimberly Barnes here:
Kimberly Barnes grew up watching the cooking shows with her grandmother. Today, she’s a self-taught food professional on the front lines of food justice. This is a conversation about basic human rights. It’s a conversation about race. And it’s a conversation about taking action. As a self-proclaimed “foodie,” we also lean into lighter conversation and talk about Kimberly’s love for food and her addictive grilled fruit kabobs. If you eat, you need to hear Kimberly’s message.
“I think food is a fundamental right. At any point where people don’t have the right or don’t have access to healthy food, that’s where food and social justice intersect.”- Kimberly Barnes
