A sold-out audience joined MoAD’s Chef-in-Residence, Bryant Terry, for a timely two-day summit inspired by his latest book Black Food: Stories, Art, and Recipes from Across the African Diaspora. The weekend featured thought-provoking panels at MoAD (navigating the ins and outs of publishing, telling compelling stories, effectively using design) followed by a reception with sips, bites, and records spun by DJ Max Champ.
The following day participants gathered at the TomKat Ranch in Pescadero, just outside of San Francisco, for a day of experiential learning and communal leisure (hikes, contemplative writing, gardening, breathwork, and equine activities), including the premiere of Rhythms of the Land, a film by Dr. Gail P. Myers. The day ended with a community supper made by some of the Bay Area’s most talented Black chefs.
Featured presenters and chefs included: Tricia Hersey (The Nap Bishop), Nicole Taylor, Osayi Endolyn, Psyche Williams-Forson, George McCalman, Gail Myers, Natalie Baszile, Klancy Miller, Jamia Wilson, Porscha Burke, Alice Grandoit, Rachel Konte, Kanchan Hunter, and Chris Pearson.
