in collaboration with Her Empire Productions
Saturday, March 10th
6:30-10:00p
Pasedena, CA
I returned from my study abroad class in Northern Vietnam with a greater appreciation for shared meals. After living away from my family for so long, I grew used to my neat plate of food with clear boundaries and the freedom to gobble it down how I choose. There is much more consideration and conversation necessary when the meal is shared. Perhaps its time to remind ourselves of the virtue that comes with being patient, offering the last bite, and showing that natural grace with concern for others. Those are qualities that I continue to work on myself, so I plan to continue this style of dining as Company of Khanh embarks on this collaborative journey with Her Empire Productions by Gigi Torres. Can you think of a better way to gather all the women in support of one another's craft, story tell, and build a brighter future than over one meal at a time? So this series begins!
