In this episode we interview Jenn Sobec. Jenn is currently in her 17th year as a secondary teacher with the Durham District School Board. She began her teaching career in English and History 16 years ago. She has also taught Special Education but upon return from a maternity leave was asked to teach Fashion. With no experience in Fashion and not knowing how to sew, Jenn accepted the challenge. She saw it as an opportunity to challenge herself to grow as a teacher. Jenn found that she loved teaching Family Studies, especially Fashion.  She found that it brought her much happiness in both her career and personal life. She has worked hard to promote Fashion and Family Studies at her school, and loves to showcase her own sewing creations for her students - from dresses to Cosplay outfits.  We hope you enjoy getting to know Jenn as much as we did!

We’re all excited to introduce our guest for this episode, Chef Destiny. 

Chef Destiny is the owner of FoodZen, a personal chef and pre-made meal business in Waterloo Region. FoodZen's goal is to bring zen to busy family schedules, assist professionals in a better work/life balance, and help seniors maintain their independence by providing locally made, healthy and delicious food.

As an Indigenous chef, and growing up surrounded by a farming family, Chef Destiny's focus is to create meals that are hyper-local and ultra-seasonal. Her farm-to-table approach supports many local businesses and favours whole foods over processed ones. She works closely with the Indigenous community and provides teaching and workshop experiences for others to learn about not only Indigenous food but about healthy eating, food sovereignty and sustainability.

In October 2022, with the rising interest in the Indigenous culture in Canada, Chef Destiny partnered with Bingemans in Kitchener Waterloo to open Cedar Spoon Indigenous Catering. With Cedar Spoon, her goal is to showcase the Indigenous foods of Canada prior to the settlers while continuing her own healing and reconciliation journey.

Michelle Morris began re-fashioning long before it became a trend. Growing up, her family didn’t have a lot of money, so she was always doing something to breathe new life into second-hand clothes, or her own clothes. A major influence for Michelle was her first Home Economics teacher who took her under her wing. Today, a sewing influencer herself, Michelle is known for her bold and unusual prints, her ability to mix and match those prints, and her denim creations. She shares her evolution with us, from her younger years where her very first project in Home Economics class was a pair of pleated pants, to studying fashion design in tech school, to becoming a designer and tailor. Michelle has always looked at sewing and designing clothing as creating art. Her DIY blog is a platform for her to share her own fashions, sewing tips, and tutorials, while her fashion magazine Sewn showcases makers from all walks of life. (:024 – 7:34)

After flipping through a magazine and realizing there was no one in there that looked like her, Michelle decided to pay closer attention to the features and contributors of sewing magazines. After looking through a sea of sewing magazines and seeing only two people of color in them—neither of whom were Black—she put together a business plan and committed to starting her own magazine the following year. The first issue of Sewn was launched in 2017. The magazine features makers of all skill levels, from beginners to acclaimed sewists, and gives everyone a chance to showcase their creations in a fashion-forward way. Her most popular issue to date is an all-Black issue where everyone, from the makers to the contributors, was Black. The second most popular issue was one that featured male sewists. Both her magazine and blog encourage sewists to step outside their comfort zone and try new things. (8:23-12:05)

Her mission statement, “To help you imagine, create, and share beautiful things,” reflects her passion and her commitment to helping others find inspiration in the world around them. When conducting her tutorials, Michelle always tells people to “just do it and you’ll get better,” and to remember that they don’t have to follow the exact way someone else does something.  There’s not always just one way to create. Michelle encourages people to get out there and share their creations because, as she shares, “it’s the only way people will know you’re out there creating.”  Today, Michelle is more committed than ever to her magazine, her blog, and to help others give voice to their creativity. According to her, “We're always looking for people to feature in the magazine. We're always looking for new people to interview, new people, to feature…We’re looking for anybody and everybody who can create a quality garment…as long as it’s interesting and on-point.”  (16:10-23:24)

Danielle Dreilinger is the North Carolina Storytelling Reporter for the USA Today Network and the author of The Secret History of Home Economics: How Trailblazing Women Harnessed the Power of Home and Changed the Way We Live, which was published in 2021. Prior to researching her book, Danielle covered the charter school movement for NOLA.com. 

In this episode, Danielle discusses her book and the surprising impact that the home economics movement has on the way we live today. Danielle also shares home economics impacts on public education, from paving the way for free school lunches to teaching generations of students about food safety and home maintenance. 

We then dive into the future of home economics classes and how they might be poised for a resurgence given the rising importance of social-emotional learning and students’ interest in sustainable living. 

Danielle can be reached via Twitter at @djdreilinger or through her website at thedailyreason.com.
