I don’t use the word badass  to refer to people often, or in fact, ever. It’s just not a word I use. But after talking to Megan Frye for this episode, I can’t think of a better word.Hailing originally from Michigan, Megan is now based in Mexico City. Her work as a writer and photographer has been featured in The Guardian, BBC, Culinary Backstreets,  Roads & Kingdoms, Thrillist and many more.  Megan’s approach to being an extranjero in Mexico is badass. She has thrown herself head first into integrating into the culture, and celebrates, questions and thoroughly explores it in her work.  In this episode, we talk about her experiences and explorations of Mexican food and culture starting back home In Mexican Town in Detroit, and more recently  in a rural community at the southernmost end of Mexico City called Milpa Alta –  a place that’s accessible from CDMX in a short bus trip, yet worlds away”.  In this context, we also talk about privilege and responsibility, and how we  can participate as foreigners in honouring local food systems, and what benefits can come out of us doing just that.********Rather than give you all of Megan’s social links, I’m going to send you only to her website to encourage you to read some  of her writing along with how she has captured Mexico through the photographers lens! You'll be glad you did, and can find her other social links from there. https://www.meganfrye.com/********Other links to complement the episode:Hear the Sounds of the Mexico City Scrap Dealer Learn about Cuetzalan, Puebla More about Milpa Alta ********GET THIS EPISODE AND SUBSCRIBE TO MIGHTY ZAPOTE ON THESE PLATFORMS:APPLE PODCASTSGOOGLE PODCASTSSPOTIFYYour Ratings, Reviews and Shares are most appreciated
