Team Salt

Vilissa Thompson has a strong voice and she uses it to speak up for herself and others in the disabled community as an advocate and a social worker. I love to listen to her passion about her work, her adamant stance on grits, and her infectious laugh.


We found that we both hate squash and love Italian food and coconut pie. She gave me insight into accessibility and how to help get everyone to the table (more ramps, people!).

Listen to her on “Team Salt”, Episode 32 of the Something About Food? Podcast.


Vilissa Thompson is a macro-minded social worker from South Carolina.  Ramp Your Voice! is her organization where she discusses the issues that matter to her as a Black disabled woman, including intersectionality, racism, politics, and why she unapologetically makes good trouble. Follow her on Twitter @VilissaThompson for more!

BTW, that cornbread would be something Vilissa and I would share, of that I am sure!
