Born and raised in New England with roots in the American South, Taylor (she/her) is a queer, mixed Black writer and creative producer. Her love of food was not passed down from her immediate family, but began young and has been nurtured through making and breaking bread with many different cultures while living in Europe for the last 5+ years. Trained in Environmental Studies (ecosystem conservation and food anthropology, B.A., Brandeis University ’15), as well as Education Design (science research development, and communication, M.Sc., Utrecht University ’19), Taylor is committed to developing storytelling through food as a culturally sustainable practice for communities of colour, and as a necessary tool for life on a changing planet.
