Activism in LGBTQ+, POC Farmers, & Sex Positive Communities w/ Meals for Heels

The Food Truck Scholar

People often ask if I have been to every truck from the podcast, and my response is always “not yet.” While work and school are demanding by themselves, I make it a goal to visit as many as I can, no matter how far down the line it is
And that’s why I’m excited to share an episode I originally released two years ago in season 1 with Nikeisah Newton, owner of Meals for Heels in Portland, OR. Nikeisah gained national attention for being Portland’s first late night delivery service supporting the sex work and sex positive industries, but she’s done so much more as well! Her activism with Black and Brown communities, the LGBTQ community, Black and Brown farmers, local artists and those at the intersections of those communities show that meals for heels it’s not just in the community-it’s for the community.
This week, following the third anniversary of The Food Truck Scholar, I’m flying to Portland to finally meet Nikeisah in person, try her food and celebrate the one month anniversary of her new walk up restaurant. As you can tell by the audio, we’ve both come a long way and a followup interview is long overdue
Thank you to our Season 3 Partners EatOkra- the go to app for finding Black owned food trucks and restaurants!

Over the past 5 years, I’ve learned a lot about what makes a good food truck stand out among the rest. I took 8 of those key concepts and created a book where I could have curbside conversations with each of you about them. This book is not only digestible and not designed to overwhelm you, but also propels you into action.
