Food Tank, in partnership with Driscoll’s and Huston-Tillotson University and with the support of Organic Valley, recently hosted the “All Things Food” Summit at SXSW. This bonus episode of Food Talk with Dani Nierenberg features two conversations from the event.

First, Dani sits down for a fireside chat with Sam Acho, an author, humanitarian, ESPN analyst, a nine-year NFL veteran, and the Director of Human Capital at AWM Capital. They discuss how Acho worked with young entrepreneurs in Chicago to transform a liquor store into a food mart, the importance of letting the ego die to drive progress, and what it looks like to support a community as they build the future they want to see.

Then, Dani is joined by Karen Washington, a farmer, activist, author, and the Co-Owner of Rise & Root Farm. They discuss the intention behind the chaos and confusion that many feel today; organizing to leverage communal wealth; and the recent attacks on diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives — and what it looks like to fight back.
