Description

We all know that food is more than food. It’s medicine – for the body, the soul, the heart…and for the community? The future? The wounds of the past? Host Jade Varette (@JadeofallJades) chases some sunshine in California and meets with two women harnessing the healing power of food in transformative ways: Kelly Carlisle – founder and Executive Director of Acta Non Verba: Youth Urban Farm Project out of Oakland – who is rewriting the narrative around the youth of her community, and chef/artists/Black Food Futurist Nia Lee, who is creating radical sites of healing and joy for Black queer femmes. To keep up with ANV news, follow them @anv_farm. You can donate to the mission at anvfarm.org/. To follow Nia on her journey, find her on Instagram at @nialeeomg and @stormesupperclub.

The Black Kitchen Series is a mini series celebrating modern African American cuisine. Hosted by culinary historian and soul food scholar Adrian Miller, each of the six episodes highlights a different restaurant and the unique stories that surround it. From their fare, to their lore, to the cities they call home, these restaurants, bakeries, and bars couldn’t be more different. What they have in common is the special place they all occupy in the hearts of their neighbors, families, and communities. The Black Kitchen Series is brought to you by Heinz, the Southern Restaurants for Racial Justice, and the Lee Initiative. Learn more about the Black Kitchen Initiative at BlackKitchenInitiative.com. From the website: America’s Black-owned restaurants are cultural treasures that have been instrumental in shaping the foods and flavors we enjoy today. As such, Heinz collaborated with the LEE Initiative, Southern Restaurants for Racial Justice (SRRJ), and more than 60 Black-owned restaurants across the country. In service of the ideas of celebrating and preserving the legacy of Black food, the Black Kitchen Initiatve was born, seeking to connect Black restaurateurs to tangible resources that support the long-term health of their establishments. Black cuisine, Black culture, and Black businesses have made an indelible mark on the best parts of America; we hope that the Black Kitchen Initiative plays a small role in uplifting and showcasing that vibrant legacy.
