    Go Go Gadget.....

    Majority of my career, I was expected to put up with nonsense, clean up what had been the normal mediocrity, learn every position, fill in everyone's gaps at the expense of my well being and self respect. This was part of the reason why I knew if I was going to continue to be in this business, I was going to have to give myself the lane to create my own narrative.  Its not my space to save everyone else's world at the expense of your own.

    Happy February you guys!! Welcome to a special segment that we call "Something Borrowed, Something Black, Oftentimes Blue" where we're going to talk about history of black food and how it influences current culture, community and the life and food around us as we know it. Every day I will bring you a  person of the past that has shaped someone in the future (including myself) as well as tagging on some recommended art to indulge in afterwards to further your understanding and education.  The Cooking Gene – A Journey Through African American Culinary History in the Old South
