AAUW - Austin Branch

The Culture and Cuisine Interest Group enjoyed a delicious evening exchanging cookies from around the world and celebrating global traditions together.

✨ November Highlights with AAUW Austin! ✨

This month, our branch came together in so many meaningful ways:

🍲 Culture & Cuisine: Our interest group explored Nigerian cuisine and West African culture at Tailat Kitchen, guided by Leslie Curtin, who shared her firsthand experiences from living in West Africa.

🎤 Featured Speaker: Thank you to Dr. Allison Bumsted, a cultural studies and popular music scholar, for sharing her inspiring insights on the powerful role of women in music history and fandom.

🎨 Art Tour: Members visited the home studio of talented artist and sculptor Cat Quintanilla, learning how her culture and life experiences shape her stunning work. Learn more here

🌟 Giving Back: Members generously donated cans of beans, salsa, peanut butter, and jelly to families at Wooten Elementary School through Communities in Schools. Huge thanks to Suki Steinhauser for organizing!

We’re so grateful for our members’ enthusiasm, generosity, and curiosity! 💛
