Finding your voice as a creator, understanding cultural appropriation, and cultivating gratitude with Marta Rivera Diaz from Sense and Edibility.

-----

Welcome to episode 437 of The Food Blogger Pro Podcast! This week on the podcast, Bjork interviews Marta Rivera Diaz from Sense and Edibility.

How Grief, a Diagnosis with MS, and Biracial Background Shaped Marta Rivera Diaz’s Career as a Food Creator

Every once in a while on the Food Blogger Pro Podcast, we have an episode that feels like “required listening” for food creators. This is one of them! Bjork and Marta have a really thoughtful and moving conversation about the importance of finding your voice as a food creator and presenting your authentic self to your followers and community.

Marta grew up as a child of two active-duty airmen and as a biracial individual (she is half-Black and half-Puerto Rican). She was also diagnosed with MS in her early thirties. All of these experiences have shaped her as a person and as a creator. She speaks beautifully about the effects of her background on her personality and her work, and why it is so important to her to share recipes that reflect her heritage.

It’s a perfect episode for the week after Thanksgiving, as we all reflect on what we’re grateful for in our personal and professional lives. Don’t miss it!

In this episode, you’ll learn:
  • How Marta’s background impacted how she presents herself to the world (and why she’s working to change that).
  • How she found her voice and true self as a creator.
  • More about her culinary background and how she came to create Sense and Edibility.
  • How her diagnosis with MS in her early thirties changed the trajectory of her career.
  • How her seasons of grief shaped her approach to cooking and creating.
  • What D, E, I, A (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility) is and how it relates to the food blogging community.
  • The difference between cultural appreciation and cultural appropriation.
  • What advice Marta would give to her younger self.
