What if food could become a way to reconnect with ourselves, our cultures, and the people around us?

In episode 14 of The Unknown Tribe, Sunshine Zerda, a wellness advocate and passionate voice for conscious living, joins us as guest host to welcome Lloyd Rose, bestselling cookbook author, plant-based food creator, and international retreat leader, for a conversation about the deeper connections between food, nature, community, and conscious living.

Drawing from his Jamaican roots and experiences around the world, Lloyd shares how his childhood curiosity for cooking evolved into a passion for bringing people together through food. From Caribbean flavors and open-fire cooking to the importance of slowing down, they explore how everyday rituals can create space for creativity, balance, and meaningful connection.

Together, Sunshine and Lloyd reflect on the power of community, the importance of caring for our inner well-being, and how reconnecting with nature can inspire a more intentional way of living.
