Keynote Speaker: Chef Kibby
For Chef Kibby, running a kitchen as a professional chef was one of the most personally gratifying things he'd ever done. It was one of the most physically, mentally, and emotionally challenging things he'd ever done...until he became a foster and adoptive parent!
Chef Kibby is a biological, foster, adoptive dad who vulnerably shares his story of personal and professional struggle – through hurting relationships, the loss of his family business due to Covid, and bouts with depression and anxiety – only to discover the secret to healing had been right there in the kitchen the whole time. Kibby’s primary message revolves around the inherent power of cooking and eating together with our children to create trust, felt safety, and connection. It’s a message of hope for all parents, but especially caregivers to children from hard places.
“Food has a powerful impact on the mind and body. We have a daily opportunity to use this power to change ourselves, our children, and our relationships.” – Chef Kibby
