Food & Storytelling

Saturday, October 10, 2026
Join Durkhanai Ayubi, Lucy Ridge and Sita Sargent

Women have joined hands to prepare food as an act of love for family, community and culture for millennia. Passing on recipes and cooking together can preserve cultural memory, empower women to share their stories and create sustainable livelihoods. Join Durkhanai Ayubi, Lucy Ridge and Sita Sargent at Stepping Stone Café for a heart-warming journey to celebrate women finding their voices. For those with a love of urban farming, there is an option to join an intimate tour of the Stepping Stone Urban Farm too!
