Building Connection With Conversations Around Food: Deepa Ramakrishnan

Our guest today is Deepa Ramakrishnan. Deepa shares her stories of walking away from a conventional and 'secure' job and moving to Australia, feeling the need for connection in the community. Deepa found that her source of resilience was through creating connecting experiences through food - to hold spaces for others to feel seen and heard. Deepa is a HR specialist, with a strong focus on diversity and inclusion.
