Alyssa Adina James
I’m an anthropologist passionate about exploring the cultural and historical richness of food, heritage, and identities in the Caribbean and its diaspora, with a special focus on coffee production and consumption. I aim to bring attention to pressing global issues like climate adaptation, food sovereignty, and the legacies of colonialism. Whether through community engagement, public writing, or podcast production, I’m committed to making critical conversations accessible, bridging the gap between scholarship and everyday life.
