Season 2 of The Black Kitchen Series: Innovators brings us all over the country as we attempt to find the chefs, farmers, healers, artists, organizers, historians, writers, and other brilliant Black innovators changing the face of food as we know it. Hosted by Jade Verette (@JadeOfAllJades), we interview 11 guests across 6 episodes, and cover topics like Black veganism, farming as a tool for liberation, the planet-saving powers of an underrated West African grain, and so much more. This season is expansive, exciting and a whole lotta fun. New episodes on Tuesdays, starting April 18th.

S2 Ep 6: On Writing Black Food with Adrian Miller & Chala June
At the end of the journey, back in Brooklyn, and putting all the pieces together. Season 2 host Jade Verette (@JadeofallJades) sits down with Black food historian, Soul Food Scholar, and host of Season 1, Adrian Miller, to make sense of all that she’s encountered over the course of her travels, and why Black food writing lies at the center of it all. Jade also sits down with Chala June to discuss why Black food writing is an act of resistance as much as it is an expression of love.

BONUS: “Tell Michelle I Didn’t Mean It”
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/artist/Black Food Futurist Nia Lee, who is creating radical sites of healing and joy for Black queer femmes.
