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.
