ABOUT DIASPORA DINING
Cooking in the African Diaspora is a practice of social justice--it memorializes our ancestors; grants agency to all who participate; and concretizes the Diaspora’s invaluable contributions to world-wide cuisines. With this intention, we have created a new series, Diaspora Dining, as a way to continue this preservation of our collective heritage.
Through storytelling and step-by-step recipe tutorials, Diaspora Dining follows chefs as they prepare their favorite dishes and demonstrate how you can create these generational recipes at home. Creating magnificent dishes has always been an avenue for us to tell our own stories, and Diaspora Dining is an essential ingredient to safeguarding those legacies.
The African Diaspora continues to influence the world’s cultural landscape, and it’s about time that our cuisine is revered around the world in the same fashion. Now more than ever, we believe it’s the perfect time to protect our cultural traditions, and we can do that from our homes, or better yet, on our stoves. Join us on this delicious quest to advance racial and social justice one dish at a time!
WHEN: Launching on May 1, 2020! Series will run from May to September, 2020.
