Cynthia is an expert in experiential marketing, teaches cooking class business school, and runs a podcast. Cynthia is a great example of a woman who has built on her bi-cultural up-bringing to help others come together at the table, both literally and figuratively. What is your mission with regards to experiential marketing with regards to your culture? “At the end of the day I am all about helping people share their culture and share their stories around food” Is there a MPF podcast episode that you particularly connected with and why? Yes!

A rice cooker that makes perfect tahdig! A remembrance of Cynthia’s mom’s saying, “you can tell that a house is warm when the kitchen is busy” Side note: Cynthia’s parents (like many of ours) were immigrants - food was a way to bring people into their home and introduce them to Persian culture and to connect Ask the Beats Cynthia asks the Beats: If you could teach someone one thing, what dish would it be and why?
