In this episode of Oak City Move, I sit down with Maggie Kane, the passionate founder of A Place at the Table — Raleigh’s first pay-what-you-can café. Maggie shares the inspiring journey of how she created a space where everyone, regardless of income, can enjoy a warm meal in a welcoming environment.

We dive into the power of radical hospitality, the importance of dignity and accessibility in addressing food insecurity, and the everyday impact of community-driven solutions. Maggie’s story is one of bold compassion, big vision, and a deep belief that everyone deserves a seat at the table.

Whether you’re interested in social entrepreneurship, food justice, or just love hearing from changemakers in your community, this episode will leave you feeling full — in more ways than one.

Season One of The Identity Library has officially come to a close, and what a chapter it has been. From graduating at NC State to being accepted into grad school, this season was full of change, challenge, and moments I never expected to carry so deeply. As I head home to Germany for the summer, I’m taking a well-deserved pause, eating way too much feta cheese, sipping sparkling soda in the sun, and feeling genuinely happy for the first time in a while.

But don’t worry, the stories won’t stop here. Season Two will begin in August, filled with new voices, new questions, and the same curiosity that has carried this podcast since Chapter One. If you have a story about identity, cultural heritage, or simply becoming who you are, feel free to reach out to me on Instagram. I’d love to hear from you. Also, enjoy my little commencement speech bonus and podcast recap in this episode. 

Thank you for listening, for holding space with me, and for reminding me that the most powerful stories often begin in the quietest places. See you in Season Two.
