My Brainfood Experience

 

Back in 2008 my cousin told me about Brainfood. Being an only child, I had always looked for opportunities to interact with others my age, so I was very interested in joining. I was so excited to catch the bus to Chinatown after school twice a week to learn how to create something new. In fact, I loved it so much that I participated in Brainfood’s Kitchen All Stars after school and Summer  Institute programming for three  years. I would say that being a part of Brainfood definitely had a big impact on my life. Not only did I learn all sorts of new cooking skills, but I also made lifelong friends, some

of which have become like family. 

 

 

 

Now that I’m back at Brainfood this year as a social media intern, I am getting to see what goes on behind the scenes. It's great to come back to a place that I love so much, and being here again six  years later has been like a walk down memory lane. Seeing old photos  and reconnecting with people from my past has been an amazing  experience.  

 

 

 

 I’m passionate about graphic design, and I love that I get to use those skills for one of my favorite non-profit organizations. I’ve really enjoyed creating the #ThrowbackThursday and #TransformationTuesday posts because they allow me to show two things that Brainfood is about: making healthy food choices and youth realizing their potential. It feels greeat to be back!
