Our world faces a crisis. People are oppressing and killing each other because of differences in skin color, language, religion and ideologies. Let us speak from the heart about how oppression and racism in particular work in individuals and institutional systems. We will discuss how racism operates in our food system. Come prepared to speak about limited food choices in low income communities versus more affluent communities , the need to liberate youths of color through nutrition, the dwindling number of black farmers in the U.S, the high level of stress that people of color face in their everyday existence. We will get clear on commonly used terms i.e cultural appropriation, spatial racism internalized racism and their meanings and examine how various forms of racism manifest in our society broadly.

COME TALK IT OUT,DRAW IT OUT and DRUM IT OUT!
