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, I sit down with Ayolonda Bandele, owner of Black Family Blueprint, an organization that takes a unique approach to working with families. Ayolonda is a creative thinker, activator, and community connector who shares her journey of fostering positive relationships with her children and the importance of parenting from a place of healing. She emphasizes the value of self-regulation, self-care, and building stronger family connections. Ayolonda’s insights inspire us to nurture ourselves while empowering our families and communities.
