Sucheta Rawal, an award-winning food and travel writer, will discuss her experience with the connecting power of food through her travel to over 100 countries.
Food has the power to connect people from different backgrounds, cultures, and beliefs. It plays a significant role in bringing people together and breaking down barriers. Sucheta Rawal, an award-winning food and travel writer, has experienced this firsthand in her travel to over 100 countries.
Sucheta has been able to connect with people from all walks of life because of a single common denominator -- food. She has shared meals with locals in remote villages, tasted traditional dishes at family gatherings, and experienced culinary traditions that have been passed down through generations.
Find out how sharing food with others allows us to learn about different cultures, traditions, and histories. You can too connect with people on a personal level and break down cultural and political barriers simply by enjoying a great meal together. Using the language of food, you can better understand and develop empathy for people from different cultures.
For Sucheta, food is not just about satisfying hunger; it is about experiencing new flavors, learning about different cultures, and connecting with people. Her stories of breaking bread with citizens around the world are a testament to the power of food in bringing people together and bridging cultural divides.

Originally opening in 1966 as a three-room library within the Airport Annex building, the Clark County Library moved in 1967 to a storefront. In 1971, the library moved again to its current location using deeded land from the County and with money awarded by the Max C. Fleishman Foundation. The building went on to have two remodels: one completed in 1986, and the second completed in 1994, which resulted in the three-story, 120,000-square-foot building it is today. This redesign notably included a 399-seat theater and an 80-seat black box theater/dance studio. The Library District also added the Best Buy Teen Tech Center, which provides a place for teens to explore and master new technologies and digital skills.
