New Episode of the Food Solidarity Podcast Featuring Miss Adriane Mack

The Food Solidarity Podcast is back with fresh episodes!

Episode 9 features Adriane Mack from Harlem, NYC, the CEO, and founder of Miss Mack Enterprises.

Her business development firm focused on hospitality training for what she refers to as "RBLC: restaurants, bars, lounges, and cafes." From training owners on how to care holistically for their employees to workforce reintegration for returning citizens, Adriane puts social gastronomy into practice with every project.

Adriane was one of the three speakers at our event series, Putting Hope on the Menu, earlier this year, along with Christopher Moore from the Clink Charity, Nicolas Lusardi from Cookmaster, Mikey Cole from Mikey likes it Icecream, and Diandra Sital from Don bites.

In our conversation recorded earlier this year, we dove deep into the history of hospitality and why, despite its undeniable challenges, it is an industry that provides immense opportunity for people to build a fulfilling and dignified life.

“When you understand that the common man is the one who created hospitality, you know, I believe that that’s why it carries a spirit of inclusion. It is an industry of family, it is an industry of one being to express their passions and gifts, and it's an industry that’s forgiving.”

Listen to the full episode, also available on Spotify, to hear Adriane’s story, learn more about her work with workforce reintegration, and get to know the NYC restaurant scene through the lens of social gastronomy.
