123: The Power of Showcasing Immigrant Restaurant Stories with Maggie Leandre of CharisMaggieTV

If you've been a regular listener to this podcast, you know that food is central to all of our discussions around identity, culture, belonging, and sense of place.

My guest today is someone who excels at bringing these relationships to life through her YouTube channel, and speaks to the layers of personal experience she has had growing up and living across multiple countries and cultures. Maggie Leandre is here today, who is the host and producer of CharisMaggie on YouTube. CharisMaggie content showcases countries and cultures through lived experience. Maggie's cultural background is Guyanese, Haitian, and Jamaican, and she uses her YouTube platform to share her journey of learning about her roots while unlearning biases and stereotypes that society portrays about different cultural groups and countries.

Through her visually stunning videos, she explores cultural histories, creole languages, and ethnic cuisine. Today, we're speaking about how she structures her video content to position food as a learning tool for diverse cultural cuisines and languages, and she shares some of the stories about her brilliant Kitchens of Toronto series on her YouTube channel. Season 2 just dropped a couple of weeks ago so be sure to check that out after this interview, too!
