Meet the Team

  • Michael Wohl

    Founder of Bread Heals, Michael is a storyteller at heart, He’s an award-winning author and filmmaker, and has been obsessed with culinary creativity as an avenue for bringing people together for decades. He’s also the principal baker at Burlesque Buns, a subscription-only baked goods delivery business. “Good food can offer delight and spark joy in a way few other daily experiences can.”

  • Dominic Sbardellati

    Cordon-Bleu trained, with decades of restaurant experience (including sous-chefing to Mark Peel at Campanile), Dominic is a firm believer in the power of community. “I think that solid growth as well as necessary healing can occur when we gather around a table, together, to break bread and understand each other more, little by little.”

  • Katriece Bekinda

    Katriece has nearly a decade of experience in hospitality, on top of a Masters of Hospitality Management from Cornell University. She is thrilled to join The Cure and contribute to making space for conversations that bring communities together. “There is something ancient and magical about welcoming in and feeding a stranger. The nourishment you provide does more than sustain someone’s body. It is the very root of community. Of society.”
