A three-act epic about Black history in the Antebellum South, spanning from 1790-1820, following James Hemmings, the founding father of soul food; a southern family--Esther, Freeman, and Missy (based on young Malinda Russell, the first Black woman to publish a cookbook in 1866); and Abina Kisi, Yawo Abayie, and Ama Nanny, a family who remembers the Middle Passage and their stolen Ghanaian culture. It's a story of love, loss, and freedom, told one plate at a time. Written by Celeste Jennings .
