About Us
Deep Routes is an educational project that uplifts the foodways of African and Indigenous diasporas.
We aim to be a resource to people of African and Indigenous diasporas as they (re)connect to, celebrate, and/or deepen their relationships to food; via understanding the Roots and Routes of our interconnected plants, animals, people, places, culinary practices, agricultural practices, and rituals.
