Quinoa Recipes: Take 2: "The Mother Grain"

Quinoa, with its near perfect nutritional profile, has been nourishing communities for upwards of 5000 years. The picture of alimentary resilience by thriving in harsh climate and environmental conditions, tribes from the mountains of Bolivia, Chile, and Peru cultivated this grain in many delicious ways. Members of the Incan Empire are often credited with cultivating the grain, and many of the recipes surrounding it, thousands of years after quinoa’s birth. It will be the star of both our sweet and savory preparations. You will receive the recipes and shopping list a few days before the event.

Event will be recorded.

n the new book “Becoming Belle da Costa Greene: A Visionary Librarian through Her Letters” (Florence: I Tatti - The Harvard University Center for Italian Renaissance Studies , 2024), Deborah Parker chronicles the making and empowerment of a female connoisseur, curator, and library director in a world where such positions were held by men. Belle da Costa Greene (1879–1950) was Pierpont Morgan’s personal librarian (1908–1913) and the first Director of the Morgan Library (1924–1948). She was also the daughter of two mixed-race parents and passed for white. In the nearly six hundred letters that Greene sent to art historian Bernard Berenson (1865–1959), Parker identifies Greene’s energetic pursuit of exceptional opportunities, illuminating the artistry and imaginative features of Greene’s writing—her self-invention, her vibrant responses to books and art, and her pathbreaking work as a librarian. As Greene transformed a private library into a magnificent public institution, she also transformed herself: hers was a life both lived and writ large.

Tune in and (Zoom in) for a unique interactive discussion -- about life, introversion, varsity sports, writing a book, and even starting a brand -- with Johnnie Bird '22 MAR (Yale Alumni Association Finance/Budget Director).

Johnnie is an alum, author, and business owner working at Yale. He recently earned his master’s degree from Yale Divinity. His book “The Toughest Two” details the hard shift from adolescence to young adulthood, drawing on Johnnie's time at UConn in Division I basketball. Playing in a national championship program taught Johnnie the power of persistence.

This persistence led to speaking engagements and the birth of his DoMode apparel brand. The brand fuses streetwear with athleisure that inspires people to get into their version of do mode. Along with running a business, furthering his education, and engaging with creatives Johnnie is also advocates for destigmatizing introversion.

As a self-identifying introvert, Johnnie especially hopes to discuss with you how to value introverts.
