About the event:
Language of Food is the celebration of the culinary traditions that connect us all... One Table Endless Connections. This gathering will unite supporters, policymakers, and advocates of English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) and immigrants, fostering an atmosphere of collaboration and cultural exchange. Come and partake in delicious dishes, engage in meaningful conversations, and strengthen the bonds that make our commonwealth vibrant and inclusive. Together, let’s savor the rich tapestry of cultures that food brings to our lives!
Last year, we brought together policy makers, educators, and the immigrant learners themselves to share about the impact of English learning opportunities and what the state was doing to support them.
We also welcomed the auspicious appearance of Adult Education State Director of the MA Department of Elementary and Secondary Education Wyvonne Stevens-Carter in celebration of the first cohort of TESOL graduates.

Amaka Ubaka anchors 7NEWS Today in New England every weekday along with 7NEWS at Noon. She joined 7NEWS as a reporter in May 2016. Amaka is Nigerian-American and her name means “beautiful” in one of the many languages spoken in Africa’s most populous country. She was named “Best News Anchor” by Boston Business Women and was one of Boston Magazine’s “100 Most Influential Bostonians.” One of her proudest moments was being chosen by the Regis College class of 2023 to be their commencement speaker. She loves using social media as a way to connect with viewers and inform them about the news of the day. Before arriving in Boston, Amaka was a reporter in Orlando, FL, Omaha, NE and Redding, CA. She is a graduate of the University of Miami. Amaka is a Florida native who has fully embraced living in New England – even the snow! When she’s not on the anchor desk, you’ll find her in the gym, hiking, watching sporting events and traveling.
