Kathryn Gwun-Yeen Lennon 君妍 has worked at the intersections of food, community, place-making and culture for some time. She writes (mostly poetry), eats (mostly noodles), gardens (mostly veggies). She was born and raised, and resides in Edmonton/Amiskwacîwâskahikan, with mixed Hong-Kong Cantonese and Irish settler ancestry. Her maternal grandparents were once small-scale farmers and market vendors in Hong Kong, and her paternal ancestors left Ireland long ago during the famine. She sees the acts of growing, cooking and sharing food and food knowledge as ways of honouring those who have come before, imagining just and sustainable futures, and cultivating relationships to people and place. She sees it as a great privilege to hold space for people to converse, and share their voices, in the form of Hungry Zine. 

Kyla Pascal is an Afro-Indigenous (Dominican/Métis) woman born and raised in Amiskwaciwâskahikan / ᐊᒥᐢᑲᐧᒋᐋᐧᐢᑲᐦᐃᑲᐣ (Edmonton). Her experiences and interests are centred around Indigenous resurgence, cultural preservation, storytelling, and food justice. She is a community planner, an artist, and has had her writing featured in a number of publications.. For her, Hungry Zine presents an opportunity to share recipes, conversations, laughs, and tears about food around a literary table, similar to what she did with her cousins and aunties at her grandparent’s farm table. When she's not eating food or writing about it, you can find her at a local comedy show or horseback riding.
