Biggest 🌻 brightest 🌻 congratulations to PKC co-founder #JocelynJackson - new chef in residence at @moadsf - a position previously held and shaped by PKC fam @bryantterry - we are so excited 🥬 ❤️✊🏽.
MUSEUM OF THE AFRICAN DIASPORA (MoAD) is pleased to announce that Jocelyn Jackson will serve as our new CHEF-IN-RESIDENCE starting this January 2023.
Founder of JUSTUS Kitchen (@justuskitchen) and co-founder of People’s Kitchen Collective (@peopleskitchencollective), the award-winning, Oakland-based chef, artist, teacher, and activist brings her passion and commitment to health, wellness, and food justice in the Black community to MoAD’s signature Chef-in-Residence program, an initiative launched and shaped by James Beard Award-winning chef and author Bryant Terry (@bryantterry) who has served in the role since 2015.
Over the next two years, Jackson will be responsible for creating innovative public programs that celebrate the confluence of food, farming, health, activism, art, culture, and the African Diaspora.
"As a chef activist that works at the intersection of food, arts, and social justice, my focus is to co-create healing food experiences that support our collective liberation,” says Jackson. “This dynamic collaboration with MoAD as Chef-In-Residence provides an incredible platform for amplifying the voices and actions of people in our beloved diaspora community who are committed to the powerful role culture plays in our pathways to freedom and inspiration.
