Virtual Event
Vertamae tells us, “you cant eat with everybody. you got to have the right vibrations.”
In Our Mothers’ Kitchens, we certainly got the right vibrations! Join OMK founders Khaliah and Shivon as they gather around the virtual table with artists Therese Nelson, Yolanda Wisher and Gabrielle E.W. Carter to celebrate the life and legacy of culinary anthropologist Vertamae Smart-Grosvenor.
In recent years, author of “Vibration Cooking, or Travel Notes of a Geechee Girl”, Vertamae Smart-Grosvenor has been introduced to a new generation of readers, cooks and eaters and crowned the “unsung godmother of American food writing”. In her own words, she be “a cosmic force. / culinary griot. / mother to two sagittarian daughters.” We call her our first foremother, our sweet “GRAND mother”. The inspiration for Our Mothers’ Kitchens.
She be the seed.
Come celebrate with us Wednesday April 7, 2021 as we honor and say “happy birthday” to our dear foremother, Vertamae.
