When I reflect on my time at TFT today, I am grateful. I learned SO much there that can take me in any direction. Starting at TFT I was fairly unaware about the intersections of food accessibility and the other social determinants of health. I had no idea about food justice + food sovereignty and I didn’t realize how screwed up the funding and philanthropy sectors are- the barriers that small organizations face, the white washing, the extreme power dynamics, etc.
