More than half a million people are homeless in the US, and this year the crisis has reached a tipping point with overcrowded shelters and homeless encampments taking over street corners. We follow one street medicine team in LA, Healthcare in Action, that believes they can help end homelessness one patient at a time. And an in-depth interview with Marcus Samuelsson, the world-renowned celebrity chef behind 25 restaurants internationally, including the famous Red Rooster in Harlem. During the pandemic, Samuelsson partnered with his long-time friend Jose Andres to turn his restaurants into food kitchens and help communities in need. Today, he continues to use his privilege as a celebrity chef to promote diversity. At his new restaurant Hav & Mar in New York City he creates a space for female chefs of color to succeed.
