Catch the recording of our cookie workshop with Jasmine Cho celebrating Women’s History Month

Hello readers! Women’s History Month is here again, and we’re happy to re-share with you this popular post. Enjoy… 

In this second workshop of the Kidsburgh Cookie Table series, cookie activist Jasmine Cho celebrated Women’s History Month by sharing the stories of four incredible women: Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, National Youth Poet Laureate Amanda Gorman, U.S. House of Representative Patsy Mink and former astronaut and director of the Johnson Space Center, Dr. Ellen Ochoa.

When attendees were asked to name someone they admired, many little friends named their mom or a mom-like figure, such as grandmother, aunt or sister. Inspired by these comments, Jasmine used an illustration of a mom drawn by a 9-year old and showed the steps to turn that drawing into a cookie portrait.

Jasmine M. Cho is a Pittsburgh-based artist, author, and cookie activist most known for using portrait cookies to elevate representation for Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. She is also a Food Network Champion, winning the “Christmas Cookie Challenge” in season three.

Celebrating 143 Day (or “I Love You” Day) with Jasmine Cho and special guests

On May 23, we celebrate 143 Day, which is declared the day of kindness in honor of Fred Rogers. The numbers had special meaning to Mister Rogers as the number of letters reflected his favorite phrase, “I love you.” Jasmine will be joined by special guests Gregg Behr and Ryan Rydzewski, the authors of the book “When You Wonder, You’re Learning.” Playful and practical, this book brings the lessons of Mister Rogers into the digital age, introducing a new generation of families to the lessons of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood. Jasmine will teach families how to make a special cookie inspired by this book while Gregg and Ryan share fun anecdotes from the book for families.

This series is presented by Kidsburgh and Remake Learning Days Across America.
