Join us on WebEx for an eye-opening talk with Dr. Ashanté Reese from The University of Texas at Austin. She'll discuss her research from her book, Black Food Geographies: Race, Self-Reliance, and Food Access in Washington, D.C.

Dr. Reese sheds light on how structural forces shape food access in cities, focusing on how Black communities navigate unequal food systems. Through real-life stories and insights, she explores the impact of racism and gentrification on food availability, offering a fresh perspective on Black agency and self-reliance in the face of challenges.
