Episode Description

Joy is the strategy. Fresh food is the medicine. And Philadelphia is the proving ground.

In this episode Melissa L. Jones sits down with Jiana Murdic — wellness warrior, health justice advocate and founder of Get Fresh Daily, a Philadelphia based initiative working at the intersection of farm fresh food, culturally rooted education and community joy. For over 15 years Jiana has been reshaping how communities relate to food — from inner city classrooms to city policy, from CSA boxes to pop up markets rooted in West Philadelphia.

They explore what it really takes to make healthy food accessible and appealing without shame or judgment, why the food system's collapse may actually be the opening communities need to rebuild something better, and what Philadelphia looks like when the vision of Get Fresh Daily fully succeeds.
