  • AfroDesiac: The Vocal Version

    As I'm gearing up to release my 2nd cookbook in December, I wanted to take the time to read through the first one with you guys. Often I have been told that you could hear me talking when you read it anyway so why not do it for real this time. We have much to unpack these next couple of weeks. And while you're here...if you don't have the book already, you should get one.

  • Introducing BBOB: 1- James Hemmings/Michael C. Twitty

    Happy February you guys!!


    Welcome to a special segment that we call "Something Borrowed, Something Black, Oftentimes Blue" where we're going to talk about history of black food and how it influences current culture, community and the life and food around us as we know it. Every day I will bring you a  person of the past that has shaped someone in the future (including myself) as well as tagging on some recommended art to indulge in afterwards to further your understanding and education.

  • 18: Chi Ndika, Founder of Luv Fats Ice Cream

    I am a firm believer in things happening for a particular reason and it just so happens that when I took myself to the Farmer's Market some months back to clear my head and perhaps be inspired, I came across this young lady with some of the best ice cream I have ever had. 

    Lavender Cookies N' Cream to be specific. It was rich, creamy, well balanced, utterly delicious and also dairy free. I made a point to reach out to her to pick her brain and get her on the 'cast for you guys.

    We talked about her journey into Entrepreneurship, the importance of pulling in the core of who you are and what you want to represent into your product, the topsy turvy life of trying balance professional with personal affairs, her R&D process as well as some steps she made to get into the wholesale space. 

    Please familiarize yourself with Ms. Chi Ndika & the wonderful products she makes at Luv Fats Ice Cream.

    And if you're in the Austin area, find one of these spots and try it all out for yourself.
