Dreamed into being by the folks behind the QTIPOC Survival Fund, The Cauldron is a QTBIPOC-led food sovereignty initiative based in Orange County, NC. We are working to create spaces where queer, trans, and gender non-conforming community members of color can reclaim our connections to ancestral foods and knowledge.
This work addresses food insecurity, health disparities, and cultural erasure by centering the voices and experiences of local QTBIPOC while amplifying our stories through food. We believe access to nourishing ancestral food is a necessary part of healing and empowering our communities.
