What is Cultural Strategy? And How To Seed, Feed & Feel Into A Worldview of Plenty
What does it mean to transform our organization in service of deep, sustainable culture change? And what does it take to cultivate a worldview of plenty? These were the questions RFRS Director of Programs and Cultural Strategies, Nayantara Sen, brought to the table in an expansive conversation on abundance and cultural strategy with long-time friends, guides, collaborators and mentors Julie Quiroz of New Moon Collaborations and Tammy Johnson of TMJ Universe.
Platforming or Tokenizing? White Supremacy in Food Spaces
Around The Table features informal conversations between Food Culture Collective community members, thought leaders, organizers, and friends in food about the juicy stories and critical conversations we’re chewing on. This conversation took place in the summer of 2021 when Food Culture Collective was known as Real Food Real Stories.
The first post of the series, we’re excited to welcome 2021 RFRS Facilitator Cohort member, Stefani Renée Medley, in conversation with RFRS Executive Director, Jovida Ross. On a Tuesday afternoon in early June, Stefani and Jovida met up around the virtual table to talk tokenization and white supremacy in food spaces, and RFRS’s role and responsibility in shifting these dynamics.
