How is food an integral part of our lives? Kiana Estevez discusses how food is not just a source of nourishment, but rather an integral bridge between ourselves and our greater communities. Using the 5 senses as a grounding point for the meaning and power of food, Kiana shares how food has a unique ability to heal, connect, and love. Most importantly, she emphasizes the importance of using food to break down personal and community barriers. Kiana Estevez is a veteran of the hospitality industry with over 10 years of experience. She fundamentally believes in food's ability to offer healing and understanding through community experience and finds purpose in empowering people to educate themselves through food. Kiana created Aisle Mine, a social food movement, empowering people to step outside of their comfort zones and equalizing cultural differences through virtual community experience. She resides in Santa Fe, NM working for Cooking With Kids, a non-profit committed to hands-on learning with real food to more than 5,000 kids in Northern New Mexico in school classrooms and cafeterias. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
