We’re excited to welcome Chef Ozoz Sokoh as our next speaker on February 10. A culinary researcher, writer, and educator, Ozoz Sokoh explores food as a lens to understand culture, history, identity, and place, with a particular focus on West African and diasporic foodways. 

Chef Ozoz Sokoh is a culinary researcher, writer, and educator whose work explores food as a powerful lens to understand history, culture, identity, and place. Through archival research, fieldwork, and storytelling, she traces West African and diasporic foodways, revealing how ingredients, techniques, and culinary traditions carry knowledge across generations and geographies.

Her practice moves beyond the kitchen, positioning gastronomy as a form of cultural research and education. By connecting recipes to language, migration, and memory, Ozoz Sokoh’s work invites us to rethink food not only as nourishment, but as an archive, a map, and a living system that shapes communities and cities.
