Eat, Lead, Love: Celebrating BIPOC Communities through Food, Art, and Activism
As we work to create a more equitable world, marginalized and underrepresented communities must be able to tell their own stories. Learn and find inspiration from BIPOC authors whose books uplift, celebrate, and amplify their communities through art, cooking, journalism, history, storytelling, and more. Panelists Jamal Jordan is a multimedia documentarian, professor, and Civic Media Fellow at the USC Annenberg Innovation Lab. Last year, he published his first book, Queer Love in Color, a collection of portraits and stories of love between people of color. He teaches multimedia storytelling at Stanford University and publishes work in spaces ranging from The Washington Post to Mic.com. He was formerly a digital storytelling editor for the New York Times. Adrienne Keene is a citizen of the Cherokee Nation, an assistant professor of American Studies and Ethnic Studies at Brown University, and Civic Media Fellow at the USC Annenberg Innovation Lab.

A contributor to outlets such as Teen Vogue, the New York Times, Stanford Magazine, and Indian Country Today, her newest book is Notable Native People: 50 Indigenous Leaders, Dreamers, and Changemakers from Past and Present. Tien Nguyen teaches food journalism at USC Annenberg. She co-authored the Red Boat Fish Sauce Cookbook, which focuses on fish sauce and its central role in Vietnamese American cooking and makes use of the cookbook format to tell a larger story about the legacy of war and colonialism, the Vietnamese American diasporic journey, and the critical role of culture in community building.
