The primary intention of this project was to initiate a dialogue with my assigned partner, James, in order to develop a boundary object that could be grounded in our shared interests or disparities. Following our discussions, it became evident that we did not share many commonalities. However, we did identify a mutual passion for exploring new culinary experiences. We then made the deliberate decision to delve deeper into this common interest, and it was during this process that we uncovered a notable distinction – James follows a vegetarian dietary path, while I adhere to a non-vegetarian one. Initially viewed as a potential constraint, we later recognized the opportunity to harness these differences creatively, leading to the conception of an “Afro-Vegan” recipe card collection.2
