In this week’s episode I sat down with Chef Lay Alston. Lay is a chef, culinary producer and advocate for accessibility in the hospitality industry and beyond. Her work sits at the intersection of food, storytelling, and possibility while inspiring others to build their dream lives out loud. We discuss understanding the history and culture of food, navigating inaccessibility in the kitchen, the conversations she has at her dinner table and much, much more.
