When you are wishing you are at @southfoodways fall symposium and your friends @MatthewrMcClure and @KindredDAV text you photos of the pepperoni rolls you shipped down. #workingwomanslunch #sfaoxf #foodiswork #sfa

@clairebnschtn @Chastitellez @Dr_JessieW It's definitely a complicated issue. During that talk I thought about all the grants/various forms of support in had to piece together to be here as a grad student (and how grateful I am to have them). The issues around volunteerism and class and power pop up, too. #foodiswork
@clairebnschtn @kvslice @tommytomlinson @elizabethengelh @ferrismcf Check out @tommytomlinson's book! #foodiswork https://t.co/fB7sBQaql7
Day 2 part 1 of #sfaoxf focused on personal stories of food and changing labor (@tommytomlinson), of restaurant as refuge (@bidamanda), and of the need to conjure the invisible black women on whose backs southern food was built (@redclayscholar). #sketchnotes #foodiswork

"Where are the stories of the invisible women who made the brown bag lunches and sweet tea for the visible protestors?" says @redclayscholar "So many foodways are built upon the backs of black women. We must name those women and those acts of resistance." #foodiswork
These narratives speak of a subversive resistance and are stories that often get left behind in history books, TV specials, & other ways tradition is passed on, says @redclayscholar. Black women of the food world sit at this intersectional narrative. #foodiswork #sfaoxf
