In addition to being an award-winning chef, Marcus Samuelsson is also extremely active in raising awareness about world hunger.  To that end, he’ll be hosting a Twitter Livechat today along with Food Republic to generate ideas as to how we, as food bloggers, can use social media to raise awareness and spur social action to help alleviate the crisis in the Horn of Africa.  To find out more, check out this post and be sure to join in today at 2pm EST by using the hashtag #FRchat.

I’ve also been tagged multiple times in the 7 link challenge, so I think it’s time I get to it!

    This is great, Joanne. great to see your insight into some of your work. what’s the deadline on doing one of these? Looks like fun.

    I am a huge advocate of community engagement. I work in philanthropy full time and volunteer frequently. Great to hear that Marcus makes time to give back and helps others raise awareness, and that you’re doing your part, too!
