PORTFOLIO
While interconnected, my work broadly fits into the four boxes of ‘education’, ‘art’, ‘events’, and ‘consulting’. In each box ‘Cake & Conversation’ are fused to create learning, strategic action, and joy for social change.
I look forward to helping you create the ‘Cake & Conversation’ experience that is right for you, your group or your organization.
EVENTS
Food – and cake specifically – has a unique potential to bring people together. Sharing food opens the door to sharing stories, and stories have the potential to change people’s perspectives and ideas about what they see, think, and hold to be true.
I have organized and hosted a variety of communal eating experiences and would be delighted to support you in planning a food-centered experience that will create culinary delight, community, and learning.
PEACE MEAL
