Chef Green’s always on the move. If she isn’t working a food demo and showing people how to cook vegan and vegetarian inspired meals, she works as a private chef for her clients in the DC area. I met Chef Green at a gallery opening for local artist and previous guest on the pod, Jerrell Gibbs. We talked about meatless eating and though she didn’t convert me, I was interested enough in her story to set up an interview. A Brooklyn native, Green has solidified herself as an accomplished and knowledgeable chef, who shows no signs of slowing down. We talk Ital eating, her travels in West Africa, and the dark side of falling asleep after a big meal of that soul food. Here’s the Wikipedia article about  the science behind “the itis”.

From this point on, assume 25% of the guests on the podcast I met at Dovecote Café; it’s where I met Randi. Randi’s venture into community building and education with Art of Healthcare represents a union between community based care with professional and practical training. We talk about growing up in West Baltimore, her choice to attend Western All Girls, and how we can all reach our “glory zones”. Learn more about Randi and AoH on the company website. It’s cold out now but you’ll probably see Randi running at Druid Lake Park in the near future.
