First impressions can take only 6 seconds to make! But if you’re neurodivergent, those quick judgments about you can be misleading. That’s where the Beyond 6 Seconds podcast comes in! Join our host Carolyn as she talks with neurodivergent entrepreneurs, creators, advocates & more about their lives and identities. Their stories shatter misconceptions, break stigma and showcase the vibrance of neurodiversity.
This is a special Beyond 6 Seconds episode for Podcasthon, where for one week, thousands of podcasts are highlighting a charity of their choice. The focus of this episode is Meals in the Meantime, a nonprofit organization addressing food insecurity in the Chicagoland south suburbs. Meals in the Meantime provides free, fresh, healthy, high-quality grocery bags of food at drive-thru, pop-up food pantries.
I interviewed Kevin M. Yates, President and Founder of Meals in the Meantime, about:what inspired him to start his nonprofit, how Meals in the Meantime achieves its mission of “filling the food gap with nourishment and dignity,” how the nonprofit’s philosophy of “What Would You Eat” (WWYE) influences the types of foods that Meals in the Meantime provides, and why Meals in the Meantime is different from other types of food banks and food pantries.
