Food from the Soul

Local Color is back! And we invite you to join us for a captivating 3-part series celebrating food as it relates to Black culture and the Black experience with an emphasis on the unifying powers of food and shared meals. The Village Square’s very first program series was built on the notion that when you “break bread” with others, it matters less where you fall on the political spectrum or whether you support or oppose an issue and more about connecting with your fellow table mates on a human level. People are hard to hate close up – and even harder to hate after sharing a delicious meal together full of lively and engaging conversation.

The 3 unique programs will be held July 14, August 11, and September 8.

First up on July 14, we’re thrilled to feature the fascinating story of Chef Yolonda Bowman, founder and owner of private catering company Blackberry Mimosa specializing in elevated Southern cuisine.
