Jammella Anderson, community activist, birthworker and yoga teacher, works with marginalized and underserved communities to fight food insecurities and food apartheid. She will discuss how systemic oppression affects marginalized communities, prompting her to establish Free Food Fridge. Anderson will address the lack of state and federal aid distribution, and the redlining practices that impact “othered” communities.
The lecture will take place virtually from noon to 12:50 p.m. and can be viewed live on the library’s Facebook page and on HVCC Livestream Website.
Voices: A Library Lecture Series is offered each semester to broaden and enrich the scope of studies at the college by presenting speakers on timely and enduring issues.
Jammella Anderson is slated to be on the cover of TIME magazine (March 15) that includes the article: “ ‘We will handle it.’ An Army of Women is Taking on the Hunger Crisis in Local Communities.”
