We are excited to be joined by Stacy and Mekeil from the SFU Students of Caribbean and African Ancestry (SOCA)\, who will be sharing easy-to-make Jamaican and Kenyan recipes. This event aims to inspire participants to prepare home-cooked meals and preserve cultural bonds through food and shared dining experiences. The featured dishes are thoughtfully chosen to bridge cultural divides within the Caribbean and African diaspora\, recognizing food as a vital means of community-building and restoration. While the month-long celebration comes to a close\, every day we’re witnessing Black History!  \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n Land Acknowledgement\nThis event takes place on the unceded homelands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam)\, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish)\, səlil̓ilw̓ətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh)\, and kʷikʷəƛw̓əm (Kwikwetlem) Nations.\n \n \n \n \n \n ABOUT THE FACILITATORS\nStacy KimaniStacy’s involvement with SOCA is driven by their passion for community-building in spaces that uplift and empower marginalized voices. Stacy grew up on their family’s farm\, where cooking with fresh\, homegrown ingredients was part of their daily life. Having supported small\, local farmers and buying from roadside markets in Kenya\, Stacy now brings that same love for sustainable and local ingredients to Vancouver while preserving the traditions that shape who they are today. They love recreating childhood meals and experimenting with new recipes inspired by her cultural roots.  \nThis Black History Month\, Stacy aims to inspire others to embrace home-cooked meals—not just for health\, but for the stories and heritage they bring. Through this community kitchen\, they hope to create a space where food brings people together to share\, learn\, and celebrate the flavors that shape us. \nMekeil WilsonMekeil is a third-year Sociology major and currently serves as an Executive-at-Large for SOCA. Being born and raised in Jamaica has taught them the importance of food in a building community. Growing up\, their family was deeply involved in farming and poultry raising. Mekeil was encouraged to cultivate seasonal fruits and vegetables in their backyard\, which fostered a deep understanding of food’s importance. Visits to local markets further strengthened their bond with fresh\, locally-grown produce. These experiences shaped their belief that food is a fundamental right—one that should be nutritious\, accessible\, and life-sustaining.  \nMoving to Canada deepened Mekeil’s passion for food justice and the importance of equitable access to healthy\, culturally diverse food. Their favorite Jamaican dish is curry goat\, and they’re also a fan of cheesecake! The phrase “Likkle but we tallawah” (though we’re small\, we’re strong) reflects their resilient spirit. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Event Accessibility\n\n\nEmbark Sustainability events are free and open to Embark Sustainability members which includes Simon Fraser University undergraduate and graduate students\, as well as Embark Sustainability Associate Members. \nThis event will be held indoors at the SUB Community Kitchen\, room #2125 of the Student Union Building (SUB)\, SFU Burnaby.

I am a part of the First Nation of Turtle Island\, adirect descendant of the Lakota Sioux with an ancestry of Anishnabe and Lakota origin. \nBorn to a family of 20\, my siblings have said that I have always been a good cook\, so I thought it was important to follow my passion\, I took up the Culinary Arts Program at Vancouver Community College in January of 2008. During this time\, I was able to garner many scholarships and awards including the very prestigious Student of the Year Award. I graduated top of my class and I followed that up by getting my hospitality management degree with a red seal certification from VCC. Even before I graduated the program\, I was invited to teach in the Aboriginal Culinary Arts Program at Vancouver Community College where I have become a full-time faculty member for the past 12 years. \nI have always advocated that “Food is Medicine” and it is armed with this firm belief that I have started my own catering company – Cedar Feast House Catering\, Ltd. in 2011 to honor my mother Shirley Contois who is the last aboriginal princess of our tribe. My goal is to combine traditional aboriginal cooking with modern culinary techniques. \nWhat started as a small kitchen with one employee has turned into a bustling business with thirty employees. We are a 100% Indigenous owned catering company that has been operating since 2011. Our company primarily employs people with disabilities\, women who need second chances\, single mothers and Indigenous people. \nMy future plans include passing on knowledge to the next generation by training Indigenous youths and students with disabilities to give them both Culinary and cultural understanding of the people of Turtle Island. \n \n \n \n \n \n Event Accessibility\nEmbark Sustainability events are free and open to Embark members which includes Simon Fraser University undergraduate and graduate students\, as well as Embark Associate Members. \nThis event will be held indoors in room #4200 of the Student Union Building (SUB)\, SFU Burnaby.

We’ll take time to think about the versatility of these ingredients\, and how adaptable we can be with our food. \nMembers of all gender identities and expressions are welcome 🙂 This event is first come first serve until we reach capacity\, so we encourage you to arrive on time and register to get reminders and updates\, share any access needs\, and give us a better sense of numbers.

My name is Marie and I’m part of your Food Justice Team and I’m an amateur gardener at the Embark Learning Garden. \nI’m so excited for our community kitchen coming up soon\, as an Indigenous Copt Egyptian\, food has taken many forms and reminds me of resistance. Despite the foreign influences by the Greeks\, Romans\, Persians\, Ottomans\, and French\, among others\, Egyptian cuisine has managed to maintain its unique identity and authenticity. Egyptian food is not just about nourishing the body but also the soul while bringing people together. \nAs we gather together\, we’ll be experiencing all these fusions and influence in our dishes\, but the one thing I want you to remember is\, food is power\, our ability to commune around Egyptian foods highlights that our existence as Indigenous peoples is still present\, and strong. \nFun Fact: In Egypt\, tea is called “shai”. A vital part of daily life and folk etiquette in Egypt. A visit to anyone of any socioeconomic level entails a compulsory cup of tea. A nickname for tea in Egypt is “duty”\, as serving tea to a visitor is considered a duty\, while anything beyond is a nicety. \n \n \n \n \n \n Event Accessibility\nEmbark Sustainability events are free and open to Embark Sustainability members which includes Simon Fraser University undergraduate and graduate students\, as well as Embark Sustainability Associate Members. \nThis event will be held indoors at the SUB Community Kitchen\, room #2125 of the Student Union Building (SUB)\, SFU Burnaby.

My name is Zaena\, and I am the new Programs Manager for Embark Sustainability! I’m recently graduated from SFU as a Philosophy and International Studies Major. I was raised on the unceded traditional territories of the Kwikwetlem nation\, which resides in shared territories of the Musquem\, Squamish\, Tsleil-Waututh\, Qayqayt\, Sto’:lo\, and Katzi nations – or\, what is Colonially known as “Coquitlam”. \nThere’s a lot of new beginnings for me – A new school year\, Ethiopian New Years has just passed\, and I’m new to Embark! Newness often feels like a sudden and uncomfortable break in what we know. But when I think of newness\, I also think of how cultural traditions transform to create new twists\, giving us throughlines to the past and present. \nFood is often at this epicentre of these throughlines. It carries on the traditions of our ancestors\, while adapting to its new environments. This cultural fluidity reminds me that newness has a cushion of the familiar underneath – which is almost as comforting a thought as eating some delicious Ethiopian meals. \n \n \n \n \n \n Event Accessibility\nEmbark Sustainability events are free and open to Embark Sustainability members which includes Simon Fraser University undergraduate and graduate students\, as well as Embark Sustainability Associate Members. \nThis event will be held indoors at the SUB Community Kitchen\, room #2125 of the Student Union Building (SUB)\, SFU Burnaby.
