I’m thrilled to welcome Psyche Williams-Forson, cultural food scholar and author of “Eating While Black: Food Shaming and Race in America,” to the podcast! 🖤🍽️ 
 
Food is so much more than what’s on our plates—it’s identity, belonging, history, and survival. In her groundbreaking work, Psyche unpacks the deeply rooted biases and shaming that often surround Black food traditions, shedding light on how mass media, public policy, and cultural norms shape perceptions and reinforce inequities. 
 
We’ll explore critical questions like: 
➤ How does food serve as a thread for cultural identity and survival in Black communities? 
➤ What role does food shaming play in perpetuating anti-Black racism, especially in workplaces and events? 
➤ How can we **create inclusive dining spaces** that respect diverse food cultures while challenging harmful biases? 
 
For those who host, plan or attend meetings and events—this conversation is for YOU. Let’s talk about how food at work can unintentionally exclude, reinforce stereotypes, or create microaggressions. Together, we’ll discuss strategies to foster inclusion and reduce food-related barriers in professional spaces. 
  
Don’t miss this powerful conversation about food, equity, and creating spaces where everyone feels valued.
