Eater Atlanta

LeahLeah Lonsbury founded non-profit Just Bakery in 2017 as a place for resettled refugees in metro Atlanta to receive paid job training with a living wage. The bakery offers displaced people forced to flee their home countries an opportunity to build new skills and earn professional certifications, like ServSafe, to help provide long-term, economic security while reestablishing themselves in America. The foot in the door can be transformative for the bakers-in-training, many of whom have fled violence or conflict in countries like the Central African Republic, Congo, Pakistan, and Syria.

Amor Mia Orino of @kamayan_atl is my latest guest on @thefoodthatbinds. We talk about how she only started cooking in her mid 40's, how her relationship with her mother impacted food throughout her life, the Filipino food movement, #AAPIhate, her food truck outside of @vangogh.experience and her upcoming restaurant across from @prattpullmandistrict. If you can’t tell by my interview, I adore her and her colorful edible mosaics, and know you will too.
