“Feeding Our Souls: The Essence of Black Joy” will focus on the uplifting beat that spreads across generations despite the struggles of systemic racism. What is the root of self-determination and faith that Black people proclaim? Through the art and culture of food, music, publishing, family legacies, and more, participants will examine the actualization of “hope.”

Featuring chefs LaChelle Cunningham and Mateo Mackbee; Ramsey County Commissioner W. Toni Carter and St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter, III; Anthony R. Scott and Dr. Chaunda L. Scott, two of the editors of the book “Minnesota Blacks in the 21st Century”; and the music of Ginger Commodore.
