Our mission is to amplify womxn’s voices by exploring the infinite ways they interact with food, and tell stories that challenge the idea that food is unimportant work until there are profits or fame to be had. We aim to examine the various intersections of food and feminism and to celebrate womxn and their ability to nourish themselves, their families, their community, and one another. We hope that Femidish will serve as the table around which a diverse and supportive community may gather.
