Whetstone has used food as a lens to explore human nature and the world since 2016. Over 80 countries have been represented by the editors in their global creative team. In their view, diversity is not only noteworthy, but also essential to our work. It is no surprise that stories, their tellers, and their experiences are diverse when the gatekeepers are as well. We gain collective knowledge and empathy as a result of this diversity. Because of it, Whetstone is unequivocally and gratefully better.
