Experience
Bca Global
Jan 1998 — Present · New York, NY, US
Our Mission is to empower BIPOC individuals in the food system, including the food service industry, through a framework of mindfulness, sustainability, social justice, and food sovereignty and help forge meaningful connections to further our vision of a beloved community. It is concerned with leveling the playing field with qualified professionals as diverse as the people they serve. Thanks to its supporters, BCA Global has sustained the recognition as the organization that bridges Food and Social Impact. This encourages leadership of color within one of the largest industry sectors (food-service) while simultaneously developing community engagement projects around our core programming \"Mindful Eating for the Beloved Community\" BCAGlobal creates the opportunity to advance the growth of diversity at both grassroots and institutional levels, which is why BCAGlobal strives to scale programs Nationwide that not only empower career-minded individuals, but also expose industry leaders to the issues that those entering the field face. Our work is crucial to the balanced growth of the industries we serve.We aim to compliment both young and seasoned professionals formal training with the appropriate soft skills necessary to succeed in their future, creating socioeconomic empowerment for themselves, their families, and the communities that support them. Our methodology of bridging the gap between the career providers and career seekers is embedded with the understanding of cultural immersion, food systems and sustainability, community wellness, food insecurity, environmental justice and (now) climate change, which are presently not being fully addressed.
