Bukela ngentla apha phakathi kwengxoxo phakathi kukaKaren Washington kunye nomnye umfama uFrances Perez-Rodriguez malunga nokulima kwanamhlanje, ukungalingani kokutya okusempilweni, kunye nokufumana umbono ngaphakathi kweRise & Root.

UKaren Washington wayesoloko esazi ukuba ufuna ukuba ngumlimi.

Ekhulela kwiiprojekthi zesiXeko saseNew York, ukhumbula ebukele ingxelo yefama kumabonwakude, ngentsasa yangoMgqibelo, ngaphambi kokuba kuqale imifanekiso eqingqiweyo. “Njengomntwana, ndandiphupha ngokuba sefama,” uyakhumbula. "Ndandisoloko ndivakalelwa kukuba ngolunye usuku ndiza kuba nendlu kunye neyadi yangasemva kunye nokukwazi ukukhula okuthile."

Xa wayethenga indlu yakhe eBronx ngo-1985, wenza iphupha lakhe lokutya ukutya kwigadi yakhe engasemva. "Emva phayaa, kwakungabizwa ngokuba 'kukufama ezidolophini.' Yayilima nje, utshilo uWashington.

Namhlanje, iWashington, i-65, ingomnye wabaseki be-Rise & Root, ifama eqhutywa ngokubambisana, ekhokelwa ngabasetyhini, ezinzileyo e-Orange County, eNew York, ngaphezu kweekhilomitha ezingama-60 kuMntla weSixeko saseNew York. Ukuthi iiveki zakhe zixakekile iya kuba yinto ephantsi: NgeMivulo, uyavuna efama. NgoLwesibini, useBrooklyn, elawula imakethi yaseLa Familia Verde. NgoLwesithathu nangoLwesine, ubuyile efama, uvuna kwaye uququzelela, kwaye ngolwesiHlanu lolunye usuku lwentengiso-ngeli xesha eRise & Root. Ngeempelaveki sichitha ukusebenza egadini yakhe nasemva kwezitiya zoluntu.

Ngelixa ubomi bokufama babuhlala buliphupha, ngekhe eve ukungxamiseka okunje ukuba akwenze ukuba kubeyinyani ukuba ibingenguye umsebenzi wakhe wokuqala njengonyango lwasekhaya.

"Uninzi lwezigulana zam ibingabantu bebala: i-Afrika yaseMelika, iCaribbean, kunye neLatino okanye iLatina," ucacisa uWashington. Uninzi lwabo lwalune-2 yeswekile kunye noxinzelelo lwegazi, okanye babenemivimbo okanye bejongana nokushunqulwa kwamalungu — konke oku kunxulumene nokutya kwabo, utshilo. "Ndabona ukuba zingaphi izigulana zam ezazingabantu bebala ababegula ngenxa yokutya ababekutya, kunye nendlela iziko lezonyango elaliyiphatha ngayo ngamayeza endaweni yokutya."

Ubudlelwane phakathi kokutya kunye nempilo, ukutya kunye nobuhlanga, kunye nokutya kunye noqoqosho kuye kwandenza ndacinga ngokudibana phakathi kokutya nenkqubo yokutya, utshilo.

Ke, nge-60, iWashington yathatha isigqibo sokuba ngumlimi osisigxina ukunceda ukulungisa ingxaki kwingcambu yayo. Nantsi indlela awaguqula ngayo iphupha lakhe laba yinyani, kwaye yintoni ayifundileyo ukusukela oko.

Sonke sahlanganisana kunye sathi, ' Yintoni esinokuyenza njengeqela, yintoni ithemba lethu, aphi amaphupha ethu?

Ukubuya kwam ngo-Okthobha, ndanditsha. Kaloku ndilapho ndazibuza ukuba baphi abantu abantsundu? Baphi abalimi abamnyama?
