Hi everyone, it’s Spring Council here. I enjoyed my time at the Chapel Hill Public Library with Flyleaf Books talking about my new book, Southern Roots. A lot of folks asked me the same thing: "How did your mother build such a strong community?".

Looking at this picture of Mama, the answer is simple. She didn't use any fancy plans; she just used her heart and her kitchen. For Black History Month, I’m honoring her legacy. She nurtured this town and taught me that everyone deserves a seat at the table.

I’m a proud graduate of the "University of Mama Dip’s Kitchen," where the main lesson was always love.

How did Mama Dip touch your life? I’d love to hear your stories in the comments.

The library is growing! 📚🧡
​Mama gave us two incredible cookbooks that set the standard for Southern cooking. Now, I am so humbled to place my own book, Southern Roots, right next to hers on the shelf.
​Unboxing the first copy of Southern Roots: Recipes and Stories from Mama Dip’s Daughter was an emotional moment. This book isn't just about recipes; it’s about growing up in Mama’s kitchen, the lessons she taught me, and how we are carrying that delicious legacy forward into the future.
​If you love Mama’s books, I hope you’ll make room for her daughter’s story too.
