Dear Instructors, 

To continue to strengthen the evidence base for A Children's Taste of African Heritage and A Taste of Latin American Heritage, we need your help. Please send ALL completed student entrance and exit surveys to us via email (classes@oldwayspt.org) or to our office at 266 Beacon St, Suite 1, Boston, MA 02116. If you can conduct the health measurements, we welcome those too.

We invite you to participate in Oldways' African Heritage Celebration during Black History Month. Join our weekly giveaways on social media and tune into exciting online events throughout the month with African Heritage and Health Program Ambassadors!

This session celebrates the culinary influences of the African Diaspora and how African heritage foods help to reduce health disparities and improve overall nutrition. In this session, Constance Brown-Riggs, MSEd, RDN, CDCES, CDN, Dr. Samara Sterling, and Adante Hart, MPH, RDN, LDN, will share research on the African Heritage diet. Attendees will walk away better equipped to support clients' cultural preferences.

As part of our Black History Month celebration, we highlighted one of our African Heritage and Health Program Ambassadors, Tiffany Davis. To celebrate the culinary legacy and healthy eating for people of African descent, we all practice returning to the, "old ways" of eating with guidance from our ancestors. During our interview with Tiffany, we learn about her experience teaching A Taste of African Heritage cooking classes in South Carolina!

Oldways' Heritage Diet Curriculum Coordinator, Sarah Anderson, will lead a cooking demonstration of two delicious recipes: Jollof Rice and Black-Eyed Pea Salad. Attendees will receive digital copies of both recipes.  

Jollof Rice is a much-loved traditional dish in West Africa, and it is the underpinning of Senegal's national dish, thiebou dienn, a meal of red rice and fish. Its name originates from Senegal's Wolof Empire, and it is one of many tomato-based rice dishes found in African heritage.
