She’s a podcast host, the child of immigrants and a self-described picky eater. Today we’re getting to know Malaika Hollist.
As brand manager of WUSF’s Arts Axis Florida, Malaika creates content to promote local artists and arts organizations. While she doesn’t call herself a foodie, Malaika recognizes commonalities between what she does at Arts Axis and what we do here at The Zest.
Malaika sat down in the studio with The Zest’s Dalia Colón and Alexandria Ebron. In this conversation, Malaika shares her favorite ways to combine food with the arts, discusses what she ate growing up as the child of parents from Sierra Leone and reflects on the importance of sharing her culture with pride.
