Congratulations to Kamala Harris! What a dream to see a woman, and a woman of color at that, to become the next Vice President of the United States of America. Another historical moment in the books. Look at how far we’ve come as a country. Opportunities are opening up for people who look like me and it’s all because America is starting to wake up. Let’s continue this progression of diversity and inclusion within government leadership. Let’s remove hate from our hearts and widen our minds, so America can heal. Let’s unite as one and BUILD BACK BETTER.

My husband Leo and I had the pleasure to be interviewed for BBC News Radio’s “Focus on Africa” segment this morning. We discussed race inequalities in America, the election so far, and our restaurant. The stream is only available for a limited time, so be sure to take a listen:

Last Friday I had my Virtual Cooking Class with a few lovely chefs-in-training! We cooked a Curried Coconut Lentil Soup, Pan-Seared Skin-On Salmon, Creamy Polenta, and Braised Greens. We had a great time that ended with a delicious meal! Be sure to lookout for the next class and any other events I’ll have in the near future.
