One book has helped shaped hospitality activist Ashtin Berry’s approach to her work: “All About Love” by bell hooks
On the ground with the future leaders of the restaurant world
Activism has always been a part of Ashtin Berry’s life, and after years working as a bartender, she turned it into a career. Berry is a co-founder of the collective Radical Xchange, which hosted the Resistance Served symposium in February. The now-annual New Orleans-based conference recognizes the contributions of black and African-American people to the hospitality industry, and reckons with the systematic barriers to leadership for this group.
“It’s an exploration and an unpacking of the way that capitalism and other structures impact the way we think about love and how we engage with it and process it, and how oftentimes what we’re talking about is not love. It talks a lot about mental processing, engagement. It’s a book that everyone should read at some point in their lives.”Photo courtesy Ashtin Berry“I’m the type of person who’s a researcher.
