In honor of International Women’s History Month
Jacksonville – Chef Chriss Brown and Tina York are the engines behind The Empowered Kitchen which is a local nonprofit that guides women for their independence through careers in the food industry. They also offer job skills training for incarcerated women. www.theempoweredkitchen.org
Chef Blakely Stein launched Jungle Soul Mama when she and her family returned from Costa Rica. Her work strengthens our community from the inside out with cooking classes, dance and movement classes, and more. She feels when people feel regulated, nourished, and confident in their own bodies, everything around them begins to shift.
