Ozoz Sokoh is a Nigerian food writer and educator. A geologist by training, she began documenting her food journey online in 2009. Central to her work is connectedness through food, food sovereignty, cultural identity, reclamation of food systems, and the joy of eating. Her research and documentation explore the roots of Nigerian and West African cuisine and the impact of West African intellectual contributions to global development. She is a professor of Food and Tourism Studies at Centennial College in Toronto. She makes her home with her three teenage children in Mississauga, part of the Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. Find her online @KitchenButterfly.
