Speaking & Media
I speak to explore possibilities.
Words make ideas concrete, casting them out into the world to create a ripple effect. Words are actions that can be used to shape new futures, or maintain the status quo. Through speaking engagements, I seek to shape futures beyond coloniality and white supremacy by connecting with scholars, artists and organizers interested in:
Indigenous food sovereignty and relationships to land
Community-centered organization and research
Generational roots of health and wellbeing
Archaeology as a deep-time approach to contemporary politics
Documentary
Comida como Resistencia (2022)
Recorded Talks
Día de los Muertos: Ancient Origins & Contemporary Interpretations
Food as Storytelling
A Reflection on the Fall of the Aztec Empire: 500 Years Later
Cultivating Community Comfort Foods
Recipes of Belonging: Adapting What Our Ancestors Gave Us
