Joyful DesignPresentation and Conversation — with Angela McKee-Brown, Founder and CEO of Project ReflectWednesday, May 22, 2024 About the ConversationFor more than a decade, Angela McKee-Brown has developed, designed and built meaningful, just and joyful food experiences with communities. At the heart of her design approach lies the belief that the joy of our communities is powerful, and when we center ideas and concepts that make space for that joy, we create thoughtful and intentional experiences that provide a sense of freedom, safety, and ease. During this presentation, guests will learn more about Joyful Design, and have an opportunity to reflect on the role that joy plays in their lives through writing activities.
