Since my interview with Malik, I’ve been working on researching and preparing for my next interviews. It’s difficult to get myself motivated for that when I haven’t set a real date for any. I’ve called three different people, but have yet to hear back from them. I put in much more effort to get an
The biggest event of my summer here at Food and Water Watch was this week! We’ve been prepping for this book tour with phone banking and all sorts of shenanigans and it finally came! In summary the events are centered around our Executive Director, Wenonah Hauter, and her new book Foodopoly. She’s and absolutely amazing
