A Good Sport

When Jeff O'Brien and I graduated from Canisius College eons ago, neither of us could have predicted where life would take us. He has become an advocate for social justice through sport, empowering people for positive change in professional, college and high school sports programs.


We talk wings, hula pie, finding a masculine jacket that fits and much more on “A Good Sport”, Episode 17 of Something About Food?


For more than two decades, Jeff O’Brien has been committed to maximizing the leadership potential of high school, collegiate, and professional athletes with a specific focus on personal growth.  Jeff is one of the nation’s leading sports-based leadership development educators and provides technical assistance, training, and curriculum development for high school, college and professional sports organizations.

These seitan wings don't exactly follow The O'Brien Wing Rules, but I loved them at City 'O City in Denver.

Gas, Food, and Hospitality

I heard Nadeen speak at a demonstration in Denver, CO. Her strong sense of social justice and authenticity drew me to her. And once I met her and we chatted, I fell in love with her love of food! She proudly affirms her rural upbringing in Wiggins, CO - as she says, “Hijab and cowboy boots are a thing y’all!”
In “Gas, Food, and Hospitality”, Episode 16 of Something About Food? we talk advocacy, the difference between dolmades and waraq dawali and what it’s like when 300 people (not all of them invited) show up at your graduation party.


Nadeen Ibrahim migrated from the Palestinian Territory with her family when she was seven months old, and moved to Colorado in 1997. She was raised in Wiggins, CO,  a northeastern rural community of fewer than 1000. She recently graduated from the University of Colorado Denver and will begin her graduate studies in Public Policy at the University of Oxford in England in the fall of 2018.

Fluent in Arabic and a community organizer for the Muslim community in Colorado, Nadeen actively advocates for Muslim Americans in Colorado, especially resettled refugees. Nadeen organizes events and workshops empowering Muslim Americans of their civil rights and personal narratives. She also strongly advocates for socially just and equity-focused change throughout the community.
In her spare time, Nadeen travels to new places, cities, and countries, explores new restaurants and food joints and enjoys spending time with her family, especially her nephew.

Lettuce Entertain You!

Via my Exec Producer, I was able to meet Jazzy Byner who is a model and a member of the award-winning LA and NY based digital comedy collective, Nightpantz. She and I guffawed, giggled, discussed adulting, and discovered our mutual appreciation for Hedwig and the Angry Inch. Oh, and we also talked about food!


And now, please “Lettuce Entertain You” with Episode 15 of Something About Food?


Jazzy Byner has lived back and forth from the San Fernando Valley and Las Vegas through her life. She loves local favorite, hole-in-the-wall restaurants, as well as noodles, artichokes, okra, and fried green tomatoes. Mexican food is her favorite (although she loathes beans) and she has a plethora of weird food quirks. Follow her on Facebook and on Instagram.

Jazzy would hate this bean burrito, but I shoved the whole thing in my face!
