Feeding Kentucky, an organization dedicated to increasing the quality, variety and nutritional value of food available to feed hungry people in Kentucky, hosted a virtual rally Thursday marking Hunger Free Kentucky Day.
The guest speaker for the event was Alisha Mays of Lexington, who grew up in Richmond, Kentucky, and is a food anthropologist pursuing her PhD in anthropology at the University of Kentucky.
Mays said her history of food insecurity began from birth.
âMy food story begins on Jan. 7, 1991, in Richmond, Kentucky,â she said. âI was born to an undernourished 15-year-old woman. My first meal, Enfamil, made me sick. That was the first time Mom worried about her children eating.
