Our Speakership/Workshop Offerings...
Building Equitable Food Systems for Justice
This workshop discusses the joint partnership between Start:Empowerment and The Connected Chef, actively working to transform students' mindsets towards food via project-based learning in urban agricultural practices and
food justice, as well as real-world exploration of small scale, farm-to-table, People-of-Color-led food access initiatives within New York State.
Consider this workshop if you are a practitioner or a community member interested in topics of Food Justice, Food Systems, Food Ethics, Food Distribution, Cooking, Mutual Aid, and/or Urban Agriculture, Gardening, or Hydroponics.

Start:Empowerment gave an excellent guest lecture in my course, introducing my students to issues of justice, food security, and climate change. They covered these complex topics clearly and passionately, engaging students with a wide range of existing familiarity with these topics. After class, my students were asking follow-up questions about the best ways they could get involved and requesting future lectures on environmental justice. I am so glad Start:Empowerment was able to give a guest lecture, and I will absolutely be inviting them back to speak to my students in the coming semesters!
