Kahja interviews Leticia Landa
With food businesses being some of the most complex to start, the need for guidance and support is vital to success, and since 2005, La Cocina has helped to champion and launch many of the Bay Area's most beloved eateries! With its focus on women and people from immigrant communities, their efforts to create diversity on the road to access and ownership across the food industry have been a blueprint for what's possible when organizations focus on development of local culinary talent!
This week, Kahja talks with Leticia Landa, Executive Director of La Cocina about why food businesses are about more than just cooking, the benefits of growing something in community with others, pivoting in evolving societal landscapes as a means to expansion, and the responsibility and privilege of shaping the culture of the Bay through food.
Recorded on location in San Francisco, CA
