Terms of Service
Join industry natives, Nariba Shepherd & Justin Arnett - Graham as they explore dark side of the plate conversations. All glitter's not gold out here but it doesn't mean we can't do something about it. Poised but funny, specific yet inclusive - we aim to shed light on the human costs of the hospitality experience.
Tilting the microphone to those that are often forgotten and overlooked - we commit to not only discussing the realities in the industry, but provide tangible resources to enact a more equitable landscape for all.
Crafted as post shift conversations - listen in as we talk some sh*t, learn a bit, highlight unique perspectives and empower community action together.
After all, this is the industry as it should be heard and its on your terms.
Terms of Service
Unpacking Diaspora, One Dish at a Time.
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
On this fresh drop of Terms of Service, we’re joined by the inimitable Rob Carter — chef, curator, and visionary behind Diaspora Chicago, the celebrated culinary pop-up series that explores food through the lens of cultural lineage and radical intention.
In this dynamic episode, we explore -
His journey into hospitality and the pivotal moments that reshaped his approach.
The origin and ethos of Diaspora—what it means, why it matters, and how it’s built.
The tension between authenticity and perception, and the nuance required to create storytelling through food.
The real-life obstacles of running a pop-up rooted in cultural identity.
What’s next for Diaspora—and how it’s shaping the future of hospitality from the inside out.
As always, we want to thank Blind Barber Chicago for hosting this necessary conversation, and Spearhead Spirits for the support.
See you out there;
