ABOUT THE GUEST
Diego Hernandez (he/him) grew up in Montgomery County and moved to Chicago and overseas before settling in DC proper in 2009. His job as a professor of English as a second language at a local community college has nothing to do with politics or the nonprofit sector, something he likes to remind people in places like the bio you’re reading right now. He didn’t grow up speaking Spanish but can sort of get by after learning Portuguese. He runs religiously in Rock Creek Park, and some of his favorite kitchen tools include a kitchen scale, a stovetop pressure cooker, and a heavy wooden cutting board so big nothing rolls off of it (the luxury!).
