Fri, 23 June 2006 LaTisha Lawson and Lisa Chang, grassroots from Oak Park, discuss neighborhood organizing with co-host Cadelba Lomeli-Loibl. Along with Sharon Hunter, LaTisha and Lisa are producing a local TV show, "What's Really Cooking", funded by the First 5 grants. The TV show will bring together mothers and grandparents in the neighborhood to share their stories, food, and culture. How can women in a small community effect policy? How can women empower each other to create change through friendship and families? How are class, patriarchy, and sexism related to a cooking show? A hopeful conversation about grassroots connections in Oak Park. Recorded 23 June 2006. Comments[7] |
