For so long, the ingenious leadership and contributions of Black people in food who are responsible for and influencing American and global cuisines today have been intentionally minimized or erased. Until now.

The Global Food and Drink Initiative is an award-winning nonprofit with a mission of celebrating food cultures and preserving food histories of the African diaspora through its impact pillars of storytelling, education and advocacy.

Today, our work is more important than ever and every donation helps to ensure the continuation of our in-depth stories that center the human experience, education through our Global Learning Hub and other resources and advocacy through community engagement.
