Kerry Brodie is the founder and Executive Director of Emma’s Torch, a non-profit social enterprise that provides refugees with culinary training and employability, equity and empowerment training. Kerry came up with the idea for Emma’s Torch while volunteering at a DC homeless shelter and made the connection between refugees looking for employment, and reports of understaffing in restaurants.

Since its founding in 2016, Emma’s Torch has locations in New York City and recently opened in Washington D.C. and students of the culinary program have gone on to work all over in the restaurant industry.

Kerry and Jay talk about America’s history as a nation of refugees and how the organization is managing the current backlash that refugees in America and other countries are facing.
