"The best way to understand human beings is to understand food," says Stephen Satterfield. One of the most respected voices in the food and culture landscape, Stephen has dedicated his storied career to redefining food as a means of organizing and educating. He's the host of the critically acclaimed Netflix docuseries High on the Hog, which won a Peabody Award for Documentary and two NAACP Image Awards for Best Documentary Series. On that show, he travels across the country to uncover the forgotten roots of Black cuisine, revealing not only the fascinating stories behind the dishes we eat every day, but also how they intertwine with the history of Black America—and America as a whole. He has been profiled in The New Yorker and has gained attention across the media, from Fast Company to The New York Times and beyond. In talks, Stephen Satterfield draws on his unique journey as a sommelier, a storyteller, and a social entrepreneur to explore his concept of "origin foraging": unearthing the stories behind our food, our clothing, and the everyday objects around us in order to better understand ourselves. A thoughtful and compelling speaker, he shows audiences how we can better understand our own stories, and how to use this knowledge to connect more deeply with others and make our own voices heard.
