What are you looking forward to gaining from the VC position?

A couple hugs would be nice.

What inspires you to do good?

Woah. I'd love to say a conscience but I'm sure there's a lot of bad people with some of those out there. 

My mother?

What are some things you're thinking about lately? 

I've been going to meditation recently where I practice not thinking and I'd say I do a pretty good job.

Off the top of my head though: will I ever make it to bed before Morning Mail - do I want to? Slush. That time Birdman was inside my head too. What inspires me to do good? (still thinkin about that one...) Should I stop changing in front of all of Barbour? How to save the world one bagel at a time. 

What has been your most rewarding experience regarding food access, justice, production, waste, etc? 

When I was in middle school I used to do this thing called The Midnight Run. We would pack a couple cars full of food and clothes and deliver them throughout Manhattan late into the night. Those were my first conversations with people who lived day to day on the food we were giving, and I'll never forget it. 

Meet our new LT member: Izza Drury, Outreach Coordinator

Class: 2016

Spirit vegetable:

Ginger Root

From:

Vinalhaven, Maine

Concentrations:

Environmental Studies

Favorite activities: 

Playing Ultimate Frisbee, doing yoga and eating gnocchi. 

What are you looking forward to gaining from the VC position?

I am really looking forward to engaging with the Providence community and building relationships with other people who are interested in food access, and food waste issues. 

What inspires you to do good?

I am inspired by people who make the most of their situations. One day I was walking along a city street and saw a homeless man making ash trays out of aluminum cans. They were beautiful and he was giving them away, and accepting donations. It was the most inspirational thing I have ever seen. 

What are some things you're thinking about lately? 

I have recently been thinking a lot about energy, and the intangible way that positive energy changes the atmosphere of any space. 

What has been your most rewarding experience regarding food access, justice, production, waste, etc? 

Last spring I worked on a map of free food in Providence and interviewed a man who was working to create an edible forest on the South Side of Providence. His passion and energy were contagious, and it was really great to learn that we were helping with his mission of food accessibility through our project.
