Kette will discuss the inspiration behind her writing.

Good food comes from the heart and the "Rust Belt Vegan Kitchen" is a labor of love.

Cleveland photographer Bridget Caswell will discuss her porch portrait project which culminated in her photography book "Homebody: A Portrait of Our Community."
