Join our next community kitchen as we explore Jamaican cuisine as a living archive of history, culture, and memory! 🇯🇲✨ Grounded in Jamaica’s motto, “Out of Many, One People,” we’ll discuss how the transatlantic slave trade, British colonialism, indentureship, and migration shaped Jamaican foodways.

Come celebrate the agency, creativity, and cultural survival of Jamaican cuisine that transformed these complex histories into vibrant culinary traditions.

Meet our new Climate Equity Programs Coordinator - A***n Sharifi (he/they) ✨

A***n will lead a student collective in planning events and creating spaces for SFU students to learn and take action on various issues around climate equity 🌎🌱

“I’m A***n, a third-year undergraduate student studying political science and international studies at SFU. Specializing in international relations, I am particularly interested in international climate policy and diplomacy. I’m committed to creating a more just and equitable world through community engagement and climate action. In the past, I’ve volunteered for Embark as a Food Rescue Distributor, preventing 242 kg of edible food from ending up in landfills. Over the summer, as a Youth Habitat Crew Leader at the Environmental Youth Alliance, I co-led lesson plans on job skills in ecological restoration, native plant horticulture, environmental education, and employability. Last year, I was recognized for my work in advancing environmental justice through West Coast Environmental Law’s Andrew Thompson Award. As a Climate Equity Programs Coordinator, I look forward to planning and delivering accessible and engaging events for Embark’s vibrant community. In my free time, I enjoy reading, writing, and volunteering.”

Meet our new Food Justice Programs Coordinator - Mekeil Wilson (she/her) ✨

Mekeil will lead a student collective in planning events and creating spaces for SFU students to learn and take action on issues around Food Justice! 🥕🌱

"My name is Mekeil Wilson. I’m a fourth-year Sociology student who is passionate about food and food justice. My call to food justice came from my childhood in Jamaica, visiting my grandpa, who lived as a farmer. Agriculture and farming remain the backbone of culture, yet growth opportunities are shrouded by the prevalence of outsourced goods, producing food insecurity. It was through this experience that my exploration of food justice began. My background and education in Sociology led me to explore the intersection of food justice, sustainability, and climate equity. Foundational to my approach is the centring of marginalised voices through the framework of ‘worldmaking’ that Leanne Betasamoke Simpson’s builds in her work Theory of Water: Nishnaabe Maps to the Times Ahead. I’m excited to join the team to facilitate delicious, fun, informative community kitchen experiences."
