Cameroon is a special place! And in special places we find incredibly special people.In these pictures you will see ingredients, all of these products are farmed with love. Grown in incredibly rich soil by people who have mastered the art. One of these ingredients is the pepper. This pepper is so prized that rated restaurants have cornered the market. To the effect that the local community can't afford to purchase. Africa is always giving,how do we give back?

I usually don't post anything about politics or politicians, but this is too close to home too ignore. After over 200 years we elect the first African American to lead the state of Maryland. Truly historic, but also only the third African American to be elected as Governor of any state.
There is power in numbers !!!
Congratulations Governor!!! Let's go to work!!!

With private donations and the GoFundMe, we have raised $1200! AND THE FLIGHT IS BOOKED!!! I received the notification today that all flights have been booked and confirmed. I will be leaving March 3rd and returning on the 14th.

read more on my go fund me page about and this amazing opportunity that I am raising money for. The link is in the bio.

A couple of years ago, I began an incredible journey of learning the importance of African American foodways with Chef David and Chef Tonya Thomas at Ida B’s Table. Little did I know at the time that it would propel me into a Food and Beverage career (mainly beverage) that all begins with a story.

This trip will be the next chapter in that story. I have the opportunity to join some of the world’s leaders in African American foodways on a trip to Cameroon to taste and create with the food of our ancestors.

What it is: Roots to Glory Tours is partnering with Culinary Historian Michael Twitty to embark on another “food journey” to Cameroon in order to introduce African Atlantic Chefs to their ancestral culinary heritage. This nine-day experience, from March 3rd through the 15th, will focus on the food, culture, traditions and most importantly, the history of the Cameroonian “plate.” This will be a chance for all those who love cooking to connect with their passion in a new light. There will be opportunities included in the itinerary to learn from the best chefs in Cameroon. We will be visiting Douala, Buea, and Kribi to learn all about their foodways.

The Ask: I am asking for assistance in getting to Africa. The total cost is $3900. This includes housing, meals, and flights. I raised some funds from my trip a few years ago (teaching in Barcelona for three months) right before the world shut down and will be using the $900 to pay for the initial deposit. My goal is to raise the additional $3000.
