In each episode, we dive into the powerful connection between food, culture, and society, exploring the different ways food influences our emotions, communities, and the world around us. Hosted by Nicole Powell, we bring together diverse voices from all walks of life to share their personal stories and perspectives on food’s role in shaping our lives.

In This Episode, we’re joined by Rasheda Jenkins, an advocate for parents and emotional well-being. Rasheda opens up about the complexities of human emotions—how we show up in the world, why we make the choices we do, and the importance of self-belief. As a young parent herself, she truly understands what it feels like to be different, to struggle, and to find your own path. Through her work with parents, Rasheda helps them rediscover their strength and significance, teaching them how vital they are to their families and communities. She believes that a healthy community starts with empowered individuals, and her mission is to inspire others to reflect on their lives, embrace their worth, and make a positive impact on the world around them.
