Palmside Chat with Ambassador Michelle Kwan is a podcast about diplomacy -- what it is and why it's important. When people think diplomacy, they think big countries and big capitals and big issues. But important work goes on in places like Belize, which is a close U.S. partner on global issues that range from security to climate to countering human trafficking. So pull up a chair and join Michelle Kwan -- former Olympic skater now ambassador -- under the palm tree!
In this episode, Ambassador Kwan talks about how food connects communities and cultures across borders with two culinary visionaries - Spanish-American Chef José Andrés, founder of World Central Kitchen, and Belizean renowned Chef and conservationist Sean Kuylen. Learn how these two chefs are using the power of food to shape a more sustainable and equitable world, from providing disaster relief meals worldwide to preserving and celebrating Belize’s rich culinary heritage.
