Even when it seems like our nation may be at its tipping point, and especially then, we celebrate our best, letting the world see what Black excellence looks like. This week Dawson Eats America: The Podcast heads to North Louisiana to listen as award-winning Chef Hardette Harris lets us know why "Up North" is the place to be for amazing history and even better cuisine.

Being an entrepreneur is something most of us have dreamed about for years. With so many changes taking place globally, now might be the time to take the leap. This week we catch up with Genelle Drayton, owner of Sweet Dames Artisan Confections and chat about what it takes to be an entrepreneurial success.
