​Join a lively evening at Teaism Penn Quarter as we dive into the juicy topic of sustainable food and who's really winning the narrative. Featuring Dr. Sydney Pryor of George Washington University, we will dive into how public perception shapes our food choices, sustainability trends, and which voices are truly influencing the conversation. Bring your curiosity and enjoy one of Teaism's delicious plant-based entrees as we mingle with fellow food enthusiasts, sustainability advocates, and narrative-shapers alike.
