Our new collaboration with Wild Side Media Founder and CEO Monica Alford continues as we highlight our upcoming 12th annual Sunday Supper through an in-studio conversation with Daniella Senior (Colada Shop, Serenata) and Andra "AJ" Johnson (Serenata). Alford chatted with our longtime La Cosecha partners about how our signature event — back this Sunday, June 2 in Dock5 — directly supports ways to make the hospitality industry more dynamic, equitable and sustainable. Follow Wild Side Media on Instagram and TikTok for some of our favorite moments from this important conversation. | | | Senior and Johnson, two leaders in DC's hospitality scene who are passionate about Sunday Supper's mission, shared their insight as successful entrepreneurs who work tirelessly to support other women and people of color in hospitality.
