" Being a part of a community of passionate and like-minded individuals eager to change the world like that of the Millennium Fellowship is extremely inspiring. My experiences from high school and in the hospitality industry have inspired me to tackle this project and raise awareness about sustainability to further the UN's SDGs. I am excited to pursue my project where I'll be able to make a tangible difference in the world. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Gourmand
Gourmand is a fun food podcast by students for anyone who eats, breathes, and sleeps food like we do. Each week, we plan to speak to people about their careers, what they like to eat, and quirky stories about what makes the food world go ‘round. Since the hospitality industry is one most impacted by COVID-19, we hope to raise awareness to strengthen the industry's infrastructure. Additionally, we hope to highlight gender inequality, diversity, and food sustainability, while inspiring people to learn about one of the most beloved industries: hospitality.
By the end of the fellowship, we hope to have at least 1000 followers, 200 active listeners, and an upward trend of engagement. We hope to feature women, people of color, and companies that align with the UN's SDGs. We're aiming for at least six episodes in the first season and to be featured on at least three publications.
