Tanorria Askew is a DEI consultant and coach, personal chef, cookbook author, public speaker, podcast co-host, and social justice activist. She is passionate about creating connections and community by gathering people around a dinner table to share a memorable meal and unforgettable conversation.  Growing up, she learned to associate food with community and then, as an adult, worked as a corporate trainer focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). But her appearance on season 7 of MasterChef with Gordon Ramsey prompted a leap of faith and sent her down a new path as a business owner who uses her many gifts to unite people of disparate races, cultures, and backgrounds. You will love Tanorria's fantastic energy and presence. And I know you'll find hope and inspiration in her commitment to creating inclusive spaces, breaking down barriers, encouraging uncomfortable conversations, and promoting action in the face of injustice.  Thank you for listening!

Chances are if you have a racist aunt with access to social media, you've come across the term DEI a lot lately. It's the new conservative boogeyman. It's the reason why SVB closed. The reason why drag queens read books to kids. And it's what happens when big companies get dragged on social media for being run almost exclusively by cisgender, heterosexual white men making 7-figures a year. But what is DEI - Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion - education? Why has it become so synonymous with corporate training? What are its uses, if any, in the world at large? Tanorria Askew has spent decades as a passionate advocate for DEI, creating or consulting on a number of programs for an even larger number of companies. She's seen what happens when DEI training is done well, done poorly, and what promise it holds for future workers. She's also an accomplished chef - you may have seen her face alongside Gordon Ramsay on MasterChef. She's combined her background in DEI and her time in the kitchen to create Unity Tables - "a safe space for women of different races, cultures, and backgrounds to sit around a dinner table and share their heart as a way to create unity". Look for her cookbook Staples + 5: 100 Simple Recipes to Make the Most of Your Pantry everywhere books are sold.

Don't Cut Your Own Bangs ep. 43 with Tanorria Askew! After speaking on a panel together for Hive Indy, I was struck by Tanorria's mix of authenticity and humor. In this week's episode we talk about her career in corporate America, taking a leap of faith to audition for Master Chef Season 7 ... spoiler alert - she made it, and coming home to Indy to combine her passion for for creating connection and building communities around the dinner table. We talk about what it means to take a leap of faith, what it feels like to tell the truth, and knowing when to say No and when to say Yes. PS, this episode will be best savored by keeping notepad and a snack handy.

In today's episode, we're joined by Tanorria Askew and Manda Carpenter to talk about race and privilege. Specifically, we're discussing how to enter into these conversations well—from the resources they suggest to educate and inform to the books, shows, and social media accounts that invite us all to listen and learn. We also talk about our favorite books to give as gifts and how we do grocery shopping (and Tanorria sets the record straight once and for all on how to do green beans). Full show notes here.
