Jenny Dorsey on The Unifying and Divisive Powers of Food
Join us for a captivating conversation with Chef Jenny Dorsey, a professional chef, author, speaker, and recent graduate of Harvard University's Master’s Program in Education. As the co-founder of Studio ATAO, an award-winning 501(c)3 nonprofit think tank, Jenny is at the forefront of defining more equitable standards for the food, beverage, and hospitality industry. In this episode, she sits down with Tembi to discuss:
Her mission to use culinary arts as a platform for introspection, empathy, and real emotion. Jenny's work focuses on making food a driver of social impact and change, challenging social norms and provoking thought through her culinary creations.
Her journey from working as a management consultant in the fashion industry and the youngest MBA candidate at Columbia Business School to finding her true calling in culinary arts, and using her experiences to fuel her passion for social change.
The role of vulnerability in the dining experience, and how she confronts the complexity of identity in her work, often creating environments that deliberately evoke discomfort as a means to engage in honest conversation.
