In episode 12 of In the Pursuit, Ange Branca and Kiki Aranita chat with Alicia Vitarelli about how food is part of our individual and collective #PursuitOfHappiness.
They discuss how the kitchen brings people together to grow and to share, and is an essential part of our stories — and those of our families and communities. They talk about pivoting in the midst of COVID-19, and using their entrepreneurial spirit to assist those in need and build #SharedProsperity.
Tune in, and think about how food helps you understand and tell the story of your life and that of your family. Then share with us how you think those stories — and the ways in which food creates community and solves problems — can help us build a more just city and country as we look to use America’s 250th in 2026 to do just that.
