Until the global Pamela Anderson, I had never given much thought to ~the supply chain~ and where the things I buy come from—I kinda just took it for granted that I'd have 12 different almond butter options every time I wandered down Aisle 4 at my local King Soopers. And when you're knee-deep in the “Financial Independence/Retire Early” world, there's a heavy emphasis placed on attaining the things you need as cheaply as possible. Unfortunately, being able to purchase something for a single dollar in the US usually comes at a cost to another human being somewhere up the chain, and as consumers, we're more or less shielded from exposure to exploitative labor practices, especially globally.  This week, I wanted to explore consumption habits through the “personal finance” lens. We invited Sana Javeri Kadri, an entrepreneur in her twenties who's revolutionizing the Indian spice trade from the inside out, to join us for the conversation. Sana (who recently closed a $2 million funding round) is proof that equitable business models are better for everyone from the farmer to the end consumer.

Today, artist/activist Madame Gandhi speaks with entrepreneur Sana Javeri Kadri about her work with Indian farmers and the recent farmer protests in India. In Diaspora Co's India Farmer Protest Primer, Sana writes, "In September, the governing party of India pushed through three farm & ag bills that were highly contested by the opposition, without consulting the very farmers that make up 60% of the Indian workforce, who these three bills would most impact. The bills deregulate the farming sector, and create room for corporations to privatize the industry rapidly, without much oversight, and with absurd clauses that specifically prevent farmers from pursuing litigation against corporations for contract violations or abuses." -- Sana Javeri Kadri is the founder of Diaspora Co., a direct trade spice company working towards a radically equitable, sustainable, and more delicious spice supply chain. Born and raised in Mumbai, India amidst a big family of idealists and architects, she has over a decade of experience in every facet of the food industry and supply chain from farm worker, to line cook, to marketing consultant. She founded Diaspora Co. in 2017 and it has quickly become a nationally acclaimed, beloved food brand that supports over 300 small Indian farmers and laborers and growing, and aims to set a new standard for what equity in our food system can look like. She currently lives between Mumbai, India and Oakland, California. Madame Gandhi is an artist and activist whose mission is to celebrate gender liberation. She has toured drumming for M.I.A, Thievery Corporation and most recently Oprah on her 2020 Vision Stadium Tour with morning dance party Daybreaker. She holds a Bachelor's Degree from Georgetown University and an MBA from Harvard Business School. She has been listed as Forbes Music 30 Under 30 and is a 2020 TED Fellow. Her uplifting music and mathy beats have been critically acclaimed by The New York Times, Billboard, NPR and more.

In the US, more people are shopping online than ever. This stark jump in ecommerce has left a lot of industry experts asking how new ecommerce businesses can successfully launch in the midst of a pandemic, where does the ecommerce experience still falls short, and if the pandemic has permanently changed how we shop. To answer all these questions, we're talking to Dan Frommer. Dan is the founder and Editor-in-Chief of The New Consumer where he researches and writes about why and how people spend their money.

Most of the spices you buy at the grocery store are several years old, but that's only part of the problem. When Diaspora Co. founder  Sana Javeri Kadri discovered how disconnected US spice pantries are from their origins, she started a company to change how we think about our spice supply chains. Diaspora Co. is one of only a few direct trade spice companies out there, and sourcing these spices has been a lesson in disconnecting heirloom spices from the influence of Western colonization. For example, indigenous varieties of turmeric were introduced to the Western world under names which simply reduced them to a color, but with Diaspora Co., Sana is bringing story to Indian spices. In this episode, Sana shares how a more transparent supply chain can be a huge step for food justice. 

Sana Javeri Kadri is the Founder of Diaspora Co., the spice company on a mission to decolonize the spice trade.

The original intent of colonial conquest of the Indian subcontinent was a desire for domination of the spice trade. 600+ years later, as a young woman born and raised in postcolonial Mumbai, working at the intersection of food and culture, Sana Javeri Kadri founder of @diasporaco, was slowly discovering that not much about that system had changed. Farmers made no money, spices changed hands upwards of 10 times between farmer and consumer, and the final spice on the shelf was usually an old, dusty, and flavorless shadow of what it once was. Living a life between two worlds - India and USA, and mindfully impacting lives in both places. Listen to Sana’s passion in this episode.

This week we are traveling all over the map to bring you stories about culinary diasporas. So, what exactly is a diaspora? What do we mean when we talk about it in the context of food? The term diaspora refers to a group of people with a shared heritage who have spread around the world. The term comes from the ancient Greek word for “to scatter about”, and that’s a pretty handy image for what we’re talking about in this week’s episode. Scattered people carry the seeds of their culture, spreading the ingredients, flavors, and techniques of their homeland across the globe. Whether it’s a salted street pretzel or a heaping plate of fried okra, the so-called American dish that you are digging into was probably brought over from a far-away place. We’re tracing these foods from their native country all the way to our plates in the States to find out how cuisines transform when they travel.First, we hear from culinary historian Michael Twitty, whose book The Cooking Gene explores the tangled roots of what we now call Southern soul food. Next, H Conley talks with Sana Javeri Kadri, founder of Diaspora Co., about the unsavory legacy of the spice trade. We then turn to Fuchsia Dunlop, who tells us how, and why, the popularity of Sichuanese cuisine sky-rocketed in the States over the last few decades. Finally, Nicole Cornwell leads us to the Tenement Museum, where we visit the 19th-century German saloons that introduced the pretzel to New York streets.This program is supported in part by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council.Meat and Three is powered by Simplecast.

Or better said evolution of the wellness industry. This week I'm talking with an inspiring entrepreneur who strongly believes in ethical and sustainable sourcing of the wellness ingredients we're using today, especially turmeric. My guest is Sana Javeri Kadri, founder of Diaspora Co. Sana was a food photographer who grew up in India, but it was while she was spending time in the US that she noticed the turmeric trend taking off, and realized that it really wasn't being responsibly sourced. In fact, most people had no idea where their turmeric was coming from and the farmers were really being exploited and certainly not compensated fairly for the products they were producing. There was also the matter of too many different varieties being on the market. So Sana took a big leap of fate and decided to start bringing some transparency into that supply chain which is about creating a supply of turmeric that is of an amazing quality, varieties that are traditional heirloom, but based on treating the people that are producing it well and compensating farmers fairly. We touch on so many topics, like how she got started with business and how she managed to launch it, what's wrong with the spice trade today, and what can we do to shed more light to how it's conducted and improve one of the most important basis of nutrition and wellness. And of course, you'll hear some great turmeric tips today, so stay tuned. I know that this is a very thought provoking interview, as it made me think about how even if you don't know much about the industry at first – you can think bigger, and if you feel passionate about it, just go after it. And I want you to know that there are many more talks to come that are also inspired by positive effects conscious entrepreneurs make in modern ever expanding wellness industry, which will perhaps help YOU realize how YOUR unique background can make you the perfect person for the business you are launching. I'm totally amazed by Sana's story and I hope that her example of following curiosity which turned into a dream business inspires you to dive deeper into your interests and see where that takes you.This episode originally aired on The Wellpreneur Podcast.Get the full show notes with links: https://wellpreneur.com/revolution-in-wellness-industry-sustainable-sourcing-with-sana-javeri-kadri/Copyright 2012-2020 Wellpreneur Ltd.

On today's episode of THE FOOD SEEN, Sana Javeri Kadri brings a whole new “gold standard” to culinary root of a flowering plant in the ginger family: turmeric. It's color, sometimes referred to as curcuma, brings with it the promise of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. But what Diaspora Co. is trying to do is disrupt and decolonize an outdated commodity spice trading system, bringing equity to Indian farmers who make fresh, sustainable, single-origin curcumin bioavailable. That's the social justice of a queer, woman-of-color owned spice company, which may be even more potent that the power of turmeric. The Food Seen is powered by Simplecast.

Chefs, vendors, and consumers—they are being the change they want in the way we eat, source, and pay for food. They are even using food as a way to change our perception of other cultures.  First we hear from  Ang Hadwin of FaFa Dumplings, a former food justice advocate who now makes gluten-free dumplings. She is scheming on ways to involve Oakland Chinatown youth in her business. Ang will be in conversation with queer food photographer and founder of Diaspora Co., Sana Javeri Kadri. Diaspora Co. is a spice collective dedicated to sustainable agriculture, equity, and decolonization within spice trade. Both will let us know their thoughts on the rise of craft foods and how food crafters can invest in the cultures and communities they borrow from. Later, you'll hear stories about Japanese American incarceration from an event hosted by Oakland political educators People's Kitchen Collective. Some memories are clearly defiant acts of cooking and eating together, and others show trauma, pain, and resilience felt long after incarceration.
