Welcome to From the Frontlines, a special Healthcare Change Makers mini-series. Healthcare providers and support staff have been on the frontlines, fighting for Canadians since the start of this pandemic. In this series we’re handing the microphone over to some of those amazing individuals.    Today, Philip De Souza, Director of Communications and Marketing at HIROC, speaks with Krystal Mack, Administrator of Providence Manor – a 243-bed long-term care facility in Kingston, Ontario.   As part of the Providence Care Corporation, Krystal and her team leverage community connections to bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the home. When faced with the challenging nature of the pandemic, this emphasis on partnership has only increased in Kingston.   In this episode Krystal shares some of the programs and initiatives on the go at Providence Manor to ensure patient experience and the safety of staff and residents continue to come first.   Krystal has been amazed by the dedicated nature of the staff who, when faced with what turned out to be a false COVID-19 positive at the home, stepped up and put patients first. This, Krystal says, is not an act of heroism because it’s not a one-time thing.

Food isn't linear, and for artists like Krystal Mack, this means using food to tell our history, build community, and as a tool for social design. In this episode we explore Krystal's culinary entrepreneurial journey as a business owner and baker, breakdown Baltimore's food landscape and how this has impacted her work, the importance of language and controlling our narratives, and her most recent event: Black Women, Food & Power! Powered and distributed by Simplecast.

Krystal Mack is a food artist who arrived at her calling by bike. After launching her first business, KarmaPop, Mack devoted herself to baked goods. She rode around her hometown of Baltimore delivering signature pies, attracting the attention of a developer who offered her a brick and mortar space. Mack grabbed it and then regretted it once she discovered she'd been handed a raw deal. On this episode of Speaking Broadly, Mack talks about business challenges as well as coming to terms with family illness, ascending out of the spiral of depression, the soothing power of tomato leaves, and an upcoming artist residency where she will investigate the healing power of smoke.

We talk culinary appropriation, sovereignty, pride and power today with two guest we #pinefor Sunyatta Amen and Krystal Mack. When we think about food, it’s easy to fall back comfortably into feelings of nostalgia, of sharing and savoring. But what happens when your traditions are taken by others that profit from them? We’re at a moment when kimchi is referred to as “trendy” and a “Best Barbecue” roundup doesn’t include any black people, and a chopped cheese (which are those NY bodega chopped hamburger sandwiches) are sold for ten bucks at an upscale supermarket. On the other hand, food can of course, build bridges. By learning the cuisines of others, we see through the lens of a culture we’ve never looked through before. Yet, if we exploit the food and those who create it for our own gain, we decidedly burn those bridges. So, where do we draw the line?

Creativity and productivity are often at odds with each other. How do we as entrepreneurs continue to foster our creative selves, while operating in a system that requires constant output? We sit down with Krystal Mack, founder of BLK SUGAR and BLK MARKET, to discuss our creative processes, our self-care rituals and pivoting for passion preservation. This episode is supported by Compass, the future of real estate in the Metro DC Area and beyond. Discover it at compass.com.

Krystal Mack has led several lives -- most recently, that of a pastry chef and business owner. Krystal is the owner of Blk // Sugar bakery, which she has described as a food and lifestyle concept from the black feminine perspective. Blk // Sugar serves up treats like macarons, lavender honey pie and activated charcoal brownies, in addition to teas and other desserts. Before opening Blk // Sugar, Krystal was riding a tricycle around the city, selling pies and ice pops as the owner of PieCycle and KarmaPop. At the time of this recording, Blk // Sugar was located in R. House, a food hall that opened last year in Baltimore’s Remington neighborhood, but Krystal has since left R. House and is laying plans for the business’ next move. She talked about that decision, and about the confidence to step away from the things she loves. Krystal also discussed appropriation, the intersection of identity and business and why she started baking.

Lidia Bastianich is a Queen of Italian cuisine. Through her TV shows, eleven cookbooks, and four New York City restaurants, the legendary chef is responsible for teaching countless people about the country’s traditional dishes.

This self-taught baker, writer, and creative consultant lives in Baltimore where she owns and operates BLK//SUGAR, her food and lifestyle concept, and BLK//MARKET, an artisan collective for creatives of color.
