Food vendors join forces, provide diverse fare to bring people together

The event Saturday was a way to share food and ideas with the community!

Ballet Folkorico Moon Azteca owner Yajairo Rubio is working hard to keep her dance company growing during the pandemic. The Vallejo resident opened Lunitas Kitchen to keep the nonprofit afloat over the past year after they lost the studio where they had been practicing.

She was one of about 12 vendors to come out Saturday for a celebration of Solano County’s multicultural roots with a Meet N Eat event hosted at Multi-Tech Auto on North Texas Street.

Rubio dreams of sharing her love of traditional Mexican culture through dance, works to combine Mexican traditions with American ones.

The afternoon event was truly multicultural with food from the Philippines as well as Mexico and even some American barbecue being shared with visitors. Myrtle Dawana coordinated with Roxanna Daman of Diversity RD to create these events across the Bay Area in hopes of bringing people together to talk about what community means and what changes would be good for the future growth of the communities. Dawana said she hopes that by getting out and allowing people from various communities to talk and share ideas, they will be able to find solutions to homelessness and other issues that face the local communities.
