OKRACAST: Global/Local Eating Okracast
-
- Society & Culture
Welcome to Okracast, the SFA podcast! This week, we’ve got a Southern boy who eats globally and a West Coast girl who cooks Southern food. SFA Director John T Edge whets our appetite with the food memories of his childhood, and Fernay McPherson discusses her soul food business in San Francisco.
Ms. McPherson’s family was part of the Great Migration, which brought millions of African Americans from the Deep South to other points in the country. Hers landed in California, where they brought soul food traditions to help anchor them as they adapted to the new region. Ms. McPherson’s interview is part of our Women at Work in San Francisco oral history project.
