“My first experience as A Taste of African Heritage instructor was fire! … By connecting the dots between preparing traditional ancestral foods, cooking and improved health, partnering with the Oldways Heritage & Health Ambassador Program becomes an extension of my grandmother’s legacy! I’m honored to be at this juncture.”
“The African Heritage & Health program is part of my history and my passion. I enjoy teaching [A Taste of African Heritage] to help people in my community eat healthy and learn about African cultures.”
“Becoming an A Taste of African Heritage teacher, and now an Oldways Ambassador, has allowed my love of food, community/family and health to come together. I see, hear, and live (through family members) the health disparities within my community. I now have a platform to show people how to choose healthy food, cook at home, and enjoy a better life.”
