As defined by Feeding America, food insecurity describes a household’s inability to provide enough food for every person to live an active, healthy life. Food insecurity is one way we can measure and assess the risk of hunger. Christina and I discussed her involvement with BFF and the problems the org addresses, such as food insecurity.

episode 5: Students of Color Environmental Collective with Diego and Kiana
Surprise! Today is a Saturday. And yet, I have a new episode that I’m super excited for, so it’s getting uploaded today.
In this episode, I spoke with Diego and Kiana, two students at the University of California, Berkeley. They both are active in the Students of Color Environmental Collective (SCEC), an organization focused on providing space for students of color in different movements, and SCEC served as the main topic of our conversation today. More specifically, as described on its website, SCEC “centers marginalized voices in environmental and social justice movements to dismantle systems of oppression and regenerate systems of life.”
Here is SCEC’s website. You can check out SCEC’s Facebook page here and its Instagram account @scecberkeley. Thank you, Diego and Kiana!
