My guest for this episode is community organizer, food writer, educator, and social media influencer. KJ Kearney. He is the creator of the James Beard Award winning Instagram account Black Food Fridays, the newsletter Who Made The Potato Salad?, and the live Black food storytelling event Bite The Power.

We have a wide-ranging discussion about several topics, including the history of red rice as a Gullah/Geechee dish with roots in West Africa, using Black food media as a vehicle for racial uplift, the responsibility of social media influencing, the limitations of the internet as an organizing tool, and KJ's evolving ideas on the meaning of power.
