CURRENT MISSION

Share food and stories with my friends and neighbors

ABOUT ME

I direct the youth development program at the Urban Nutrition Initiative. We provide teenagers with an empowering experience through food. I love food and dancing and sharing both with my friends and family.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted multiple surfers in the last four years.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first two surfing experiences were with teenagers from our program when we attended food and social justice conferences in 2008: Dream Reborn in Memphis and Kellogg Food and Society in Phoenix.
I have really enjoyed meeting fellow surfers. I enjoy staying connected with some through facebook and snail mail postcards.
