From African kitchens to a shared global table—food as systems change.

Book Selassie for keynotes, boards, and advisory—or join the table for resources and updates.

 
 

What’s in the Recipe

  • Biodiversity — resilience you can taste

  • Circular thinking — nothing wasted, everything repurposed

  • Communal dining — meals as social infrastructure

  • Plant-forward proteins — egusi, bambara, moringa, millet

  • Indigenous knowledge — fermentation, clay, smoke, time

  • Seasonality & preservation — abundance that lasts

  • Regenerative farming — reciprocity with the land

  • Wild harvesting — the earth’s quiet generosity

Note:
It’s practice—centuries of lived wisdom, made visible.
