Tune in for what promises to be a fascinating discussion 'Beyond the Columbian Exchange' on African Diaspora culinary cultural retentions as a cornerstone of the politics of identity, and in respect to stewardship of the environment, the planet and to each other.

This material is broadly drawn from my research on the intersectional relationship between sacred and secular foodways in Afro-Brazilian communities in the northeastern regions of Brazil. I have also placed my research in conversation with Pope Francis’s 2015 encyclical, ‘care for our common home’, or Laudato Si.
