From Food to Friends

By Amelia Bronfman ‘24, Keystone Foundation Fellow

Every morning I greet my neighbors, coworkers, and friends with the same two questions: “Saaptingla?” and “Enna saaptingla?” or “Have you eaten?” and “What have you eaten?”. My truthful response and our inside joke is that every morning I have eaten oats. What can I say, they are quick, nutritious and filling! This quick exchange feels like an affirmation and a friendly check in.
