*What do we mean by "Putting Race on the Table"?
Black folks in Canada are almost two times more likely to experience food insecurity than white folks. Why? This workshop unpacks systemic racism as it shows up in our food system. In this session, your team will participate in anti-racist learning activities exploring how anti-Black racism and settler-colonialism shape our interactions with food at every level – through policies, institutions, interpersonal relationships, and day-to-day experiences. Through a lens of intersectionality, this workshop prompts participants to critically examine their own relationships with food. We’ll dive deep into these interconnections between food justice and racial equity while learning to make some homestyle comfort food from scratch.
