I remember being a young girl and watching my Abuelita cook in the kitchen for her big family. The silver steel pot she used to make the arroz con pollo would sit in the middle of the table while the whole family would take spoonfuls of it and put it onto their plates. My Abuelita always told me that the way to somebody’s heart is the food you feed them. In Issue 6, we talk about food, its importance to us as people and how it affects our lives positively and negatively. I hope that by reading this issue, the audience is captivated by the stories of each individual who wrote about their personal experiences with food. Readers will also read about the way food has impacted our communities within.
