This week my guest is Emmet Moeller. Emmet and I sat down in February and talked about non-profits, music, politicizing work, and just how good farm fresh produce is. You can find more about Emmet and his work at Common Table here or join their substack here. If you live in NYC or the greater Kingston area, check out their full fridge club and other offerings and events :)

More about Emmet:

Emmet Moeller is a queer & trans chef living and working in NY's Hudson Valley. After 13 years of loving and learning in Brooklyn, Emmet and his partner moved north to Rosendale, where they have happily lived for just over 6 years. In a past life, Emmet worked for Willie Mae Rock Camp for Girls, where he met a lot of incredible musicians who taught him so much about leadership and care. These days, you can find him leading a small team of queer geniuses at Common Table, his personal chef and meal subscription business (and generally queer little kitchen where we do whatever we want) in Kingston, NY. 

Outside of work, Emmet has lately centered his attention on resistance, pushing and pulling, moving his body now that he can finally feel it, staring at the waterfall in his backyard, and eating as many delicious things as possible.

This week I'm joined by Melanie Griffin, aka @msmauve. We talked tattoos, chronic illness, the placebo effect, navigating isolation, and so much more.

About Melanie:

Melanie Griffin is a non-binary, queer Black artist and herbalist living in Virginia, who has also spent formative time in LA and New York. She is an ardent believer and lover of plant medicine, plant magic and healing justice. They are deeply invested in collective healing and creative paths that center Black and Brown people.

Through her experiences with chronic illness, Melanie was moved to begin studying herbalism after becoming frustrated with the limitations of allopathic/ western medicine. She has studied on her own for many years and in formal settings. After drawing connections between the medical industrial complex, the prison industrial complex and systemic racism, she became passionate about how care and wellness practices can be used to support abolition and the building of a world beyond the systems of interlocking oppression that affect us all.

Additionally, through textiles, multimedia works, writing, and performance/ritual/magic, Melanie explores issues around home, self-care/ self affirmation, sickness, healing, race, gender, sexuality, capitalism,  liberation and our relationship to this planet. They have held workshops and shown work in different spaces including SOMArts, Human Resources, and LACE. Currently, Melanie has been facilitating a self and community care program they created called, The Magic of Practice. This workshop integrates plant medicine and ritual to support nourishing practices.
