Voices of Nourishment

How to Use These Resources

The Voices of Nourishment toolkit provides guidance for exploring experiences of food, bodies, identity, belonging, and culturally safe care through music.

We suggest beginning with the audio, taking a moment to reflect, and then watching the accompanying lyric video. The toolkit provides discussion questions and practice takeaways for each song.

Educators are welcome to adapt this approach to their learners, available time, and educational goals. You can explore individual songs or several together. There is no requirement to use all 11.

Some songs explore sensitive experiences. Allow learners to pause, skip, or step away as needed.
