31 Days of Black Women in Food - 2020

, , , ,

It wouldn’t be a Women’s History Month if we didn’t celebrate black women in food! Yes, our 3rd edition of “31 Days of Black Women in Food” is here. This campaign celebrates the contributions of dynamic black women in the food and beverage industry during Women’s History Month. The contributions that black women make in the field often goes unrecognized, so this campaign ensures that their impacts are celebrated and amplified.

Over 300 black women from around the world were nominated by the public from countries ranging from Nigeria to the United Kingdom, and the United States. Judged by industry experts and influencers, Carla Hall, Therese Nelson, Colleen Vincent, Korsha Wilson, Kalisa Marie Martin, Afua Osei, and V. Sheree Williams, we are delighted to present the 31 honorees in the following categories:

  • Trailblazers (industry mavens paving the way for others)

  • Amplifiers (journalists, bloggers, photographers, and/or filmmakers)

  • Game Changers (activists, policymakers, and/or venture capitalists)

  • Innovators (introducing new methods, approaches, ideas, and/or products)

  • Creatives (chefs, cooks, artists, and/or food product makers)

Year of Return: The Must-Attend Food Experiences in Accra

For travelers going to Ghana in December for the 400th anniversary of the arrival of enslaved Africans in North America, The Year of Return, there is much to be explored.  Along with the dearth of opportunities for historical exploration, Ghana’s bustling food culture is not to be overlooked.  It is so vibrant, that the recently formed Ghana Food Movement aims to “support and celebrate food heroes and initiatives who are making Ghana’s food system future proof.” As Ghanaians celebrate food talent locally, the international community has also recognized these creatives, including Chef Selassie Adatika who has been heralded as the “face of new African cuisine.”
