Season 2 Episode 6 with Chef Malcom, Food Network Star & Author of the Letter to my Fellow Black Chefs
You may recall back in Season 1 we had Chef join us talking about his new culinary ventures and support and volunteering he does to help our youth.
This week we wanted to bring him back to discuss such an important topic and Difficult Conversation that impacts across the culinary field regarding resources and training for black youth coming into the field.'
Chef Malcom has written “A Letter to my Fellow Black Chefs” which was inspired by an essay written by his great-uncle James Baldwin to his father- “A Letter to My Nephew” back in 1962.
It is key that we allow for diversity and representation of our fellow black chefs to let them shine for their true skills.
We must not pre-label with a notion that they can only provide a certain skillset.
Helping our fellow black chefs to have representation, a seat at the table of the boardrooms, being decision makers and even CEOs.
The ultimate goal is to bring our brothers and sisters together no matter what race or walk of life to better our culinary sectors and the rest of our world.
