This week's conversation is with Nina Williams-Mbengue, the niece of culinary legend Chef Edna Lewis. We talk about her relationship with her Aunt Edna, the legacy Chef Lewis left behind for us...and how her Aunt would feel about the current social and political climate that is effecting Black women in food spaces.

Nina is a Senior Fellow on NCSL's Child Welfare Project providing legislative research and policy analysis on child welfare issues for state legislatures, child welfare professionals, and the media.
