Our mission is to amplify womxn’s voices by exploring the infinite ways they interact with food, and tell stories that challenge the idea that food is unimportant work until there are profits or fame to be had.
We aim to examine the various intersections of food and feminism and to celebrate womxn and their ability to nourish themselves, their families, their community, and one another. We hope that Femidish will serve as the table around which a diverse and supportive community may gather.
Divana Olivas: Food as a Tool for Liberation and Oppression
In our final episode of season two, we meet with Divana Olivas, a PhD Candidate in American Studies + Ethnicity, where she researches state agriculture policy and grassroots community activism, influenced from leftist feminist organizing. She talks about her oral history project and the importance of chronicling stories in that way. Of course, we talk gender roles in the kitchen (5 dollars to anyone who finds a Femidish episode where we DON'T discuss it) and in families. Divana begins to teach Hope and Sandy about Chicana feminist theory, which is truly a topic deserving of its own episode! Special call out SWOP - SouthWest Organizing Project - and their work toward food justice.

Dude, we’re talking to Emily Contois!
Welcome to this episode of Femidish, with a few more Y chromosomes than usual! We talk with Emily Contois on her new book “Diners, Dudes, and Diets: How Gender & Power Collide in Food Media & Culture.” There is so much to learn from Emily, and this fun episode has a lot of laughs and generally great vibes as we discuss our brethren and our own relation to food and power. Special shout-out to our folks in Flavortown (Columbus), Ohio!

Mingle and Grace with Mahfam
Meet Mahfam! She is the owner of Mingle + Graze; a cheese and specialty shop in Arizona, U.S., mixing up delicious eats and cultural celebrations. Hope and Sandy discuss with Mahfam the secret to kicking that cheese obsession (oh, it’s real!), and the details of Chilean and Persian food. Cultural thoughts take the forefront of the conversation with notes on immigration, appropriation, and why mommas just can’t give up their tried and true recipes. Come over and listen with us!
