@Intel bought several cases of #AfroVegan and invited me to their corporate headquarters in Silicon Valley to sign and give away to employees. They also served several of my recipes at their main cafe. #MoAD_Food (at Intel Corporate Headquarters)

A big part of my residency at @MoAD_SF is an educational component in which I work with students, from elementary to college, teaching them about food politics, African Diasporic foodways, and the like. Here I am talking to a Media Studies class (with an emphasis on food) from @USFCA on Monday. 📷 @markdigitalhd #latergram #MoAD_Food (at Museum of the African Diaspora (MoAD))

I was so busy grinding during the first #DiasporaDinner at @MoAD_sf on Tuesday I barely had time to take photos of the scrumptious food served up by The People's Kitchen. I will share some flicks by my folks at @WaketheWolves: This is the Savory Benne Cake with Fried Collard. #DiasporaDinner #MoAD_Food #Africa (at Museum of the African Diaspora (MoAD))

On some Oakland ish, I just did an interview with the legend Davey D standing on a sidewalk on Lakeshore Avenue. We talked food justice, my position as Chef-in-Residence at @MoAD_SF, and his legendary Mango-Coconut Collard Greens. Check out the interview this afternoon on Hardknock Radio between 4 and 5pm PST. #Oakland #foodjustice #DaveyD #MoAD_Food (at Oakland, California)
