Endangered Languages, Culinary Dreams & Sylvia's Children - Jul 13,2013

Every 14 days a language dies. National Geographic author and renown linguist, David Harrison, joins World Footprints to discuss his latest book: The Last Speakers: The Quest to Save the World's Most Endangered Languages. Then celebrated personal chef to the stars, Chef Jermome Brown--a.k.a. Chef Rome, is fresh on the heels of his invitation to participate in the International Food & Wine Festival. He joins World Footprints to talk about his journey from a small neighborhood eatery in Rocky Mount, North Carolina to the accolades he was showered with in Orlando, Fla.. Finally, Sylvia Allen is a prominent business woman, Associate Professor of Marketing and Author; but since 2003, she has placed the title of Humanitarian at the top of her professional mantel. After returning from a humanitarian trip to Uganda, where she was adopted as a grandmother by local children, Sylvia returned and created “Sylvia's Children” with a commitment to help feed, clothe and educate the children of Uganda.
