Interview with Frances
Details:
Frances A. Pérez Rodriguez (she/her) is the Food and Land Education Coordinator of Woke Foods, a food service and food justice worker-owned cooperative focused on innovating Dominican and Afro-Caribbean plant-based foods. Frances is also a co-program coordinator of Farm School NYC, an urban agriculture training program which trains local residents in urban agriculture in order to build self-reliant communities and inspire positive local action around food access and social, economic, and racial justice issues. Frances is also the co-lead farmer of La Finca del Sur/South Bronx Farmers, an urban farmer cooperative led by Latina and Black women and their allies. Please join me for this beautiful interview as we discuss serious topics like identity, decolonizing our diets and freeing the land to free ourselves, as well as Frances’ family tradition of salsa.
