In this episode of My City Talks, I sit down with Jasmine Brooks, community leader, advocate, and project manager of Iowa’s Double Up Food Bucks program. Together, they dive into the realities of food insecurity in Des Moines and across Iowa, the cultural connection to food, the lost art of cooking, and how programs like Double Up Iowa are bridging gaps in access to fresh, healthy foods.
This conversation also previews Jasmine’s role at the upcoming My City My Health Conference (Nov. 14, Des Moines), where leaders will gather to turn dialogue into action around health equity and community impact.
