|E15| Michellee Fox relives: Overcoming Isolation, Keeping My Identity & Leading A Revolution

Brazilian native, Michellee Fox is a slow food chef and small minority farmer advocate. And on top of this, she's joined an amazing initiative for a food and lifestyle television network, known as FoodBay TV, as the North South America Business Development Manager.

Through our conversation I've realised that she really is leading the charge for the food revolution that we are seeing - and as she puts it "until all of us, including chefs, farmers, the F&B industry and government decide to take seasonality, regenerative and slow food practices seriously, we are all contributing to the decay of our civilisation".

Oh and did I mention she has also grown cannabis in Humboldt, California, ( which makes up the Emerald Triangle and is known for producing some of the best cannabis in the world) using regenerative practices.

Well I had the immense pleasure of discussing and reliving the journey that took this incredible woman from her humble backgrounds in Brazil, to the US and beyond. This really was an adventure from start to finish.

In this episode, we discuss:

Rebelling against stereotypes in Brazil

Learning from her grandmother

Struggling to integrate in Alabama

Bringing skateboarding to the favelas

Coming out of her shell in Hawaii

Instilling Brazilian values in her children

Taking BIG risks and flourishing in California

Leading the food revolution

'Food tourism' in Africa through Food Bay TV

... and more!

Get in contact with Michellee through her Instagram @chefmichelleefox to discuss everything from being a Brazilian immigrant to the US, seasonal nutrition, food tourism in Africa, and much much more.
