NEW DATE: Recipes Made Radical with Kitchentales of Survival and Resistance | April 3

[Arts Communications]

Hello, everyone! We're happy to report that guest speaker Neisha-Anne Green will now be joining us online (via Zoom) on Thursday, April 3. Thank you for your patience as organizers worked hard to make this happen!

About the event:

The kitchen has long been a site of both nourishment and defiance—a space where survival, culture, and activism converge. This talk explores how food serves as a powerful tool of resistance, from the resourceful cooking of enslaved and oppressed peoples to the current and impending food injustice movements that call to questions folks understandings of a tariff and bird flu. Blending activism, and personal storytelling, Radical Recipes highlights the ways in which marginalized communities have used food to preserve identity, sustain resistance, and build collective power.

About the speaker:

Neisha-Anne Green is the Senior Director of Academic Support at American University in Washington, DC, where she leads with a commitment to equity, inclusion, and transformative student support. A recognized activist within Writing Centers, her work has centered anti-racist language practices, linguistic justice, and the power of multilingualism. She has delivered keynotes across the U.S. and Canada, challenging institutions to embrace language as a resource for empowerment rather than gatekeeping.
Neisha-Anne is currently pursuing a PhD in Language, Literacy, and Culture at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. Her research explores the intersections of food as power, Black women’s rhetorics, and kitchen culture—unearthing the ways culinary spaces serve as sites of resistance, storytelling, and survival.
A multidialectal orator and writer, Neisha-Anne proudly claims her roots in Barbados and Yonkers, NY. She is a fierce advocate for linguistic and social justice, always interrogating how language shapes identity and access. As she continues this work, she is also deepening her practice of speaking up—for herself and for others.
