Hey Y’all, this is Amanda, the co-founder and Ex

Hey Y’all, this is Amanda, the co-founder and Executive Director of The Training Kitchen (TTK).

This year has been rough but just like everyone in Austin, we’ve held on and pushed forward. I’m in awe of our resilience and capacity to dream as we looked strife in the face and said, not today. Instead, we worked hard to build bridges and to find commonality among our neighbors. We worked hard to practice empathy and to find humility within disagreements. We worked hard to run towards love and not fear.

Let’s keep up the great work and take a STRENGTHS-BASED APPROACH to caring for our families and neighbors.

Please consider supporting TTK’s community development work in south Austin by choosing us on #givingtuesday!
