Klancy Miller’s brand new book, “For the Culture: Phenomenal Black Women and Femmes in Food,” spotlights more than 60 individuals shaping the hospitality world today, and pays tribute to the trailblazers who made it all possible, including Edna Lewis and B. Smith. Klancy joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about them, as well as some of the current trailblazers featured in “For the Culture,” from culinary creative Sophia Roe to wine and travel pro Julia Coney. 

Klancy also discusses the making of the book and her love of France, and she shares some remembrances of her late mother, Rose, who inspired her love of food and who Klancy calls “an architect of happiness.” “For the Culture” is dedicated to both of her parents.
