About
Season 2 of The Black Kitchen Series: Innovators brings us all over the country as we attempt to find the chefs, farmers, healers, artists, organizers, historians, writers, and other brilliant Black innovators changing the face of food as we know it. Hosted by Jade Verette (@JadeOfAllJades), we interview 11 guests across 6 episodes, and cover topics like Black veganism, farming as a tool for liberation, the planet-saving powers of an underrated West African grain, and so much more. This season is expansive, exciting and a whole lotta fun. New episodes on Tuesdays, starting April 18th. . . The Black Kitchen Series: Innovators was created by Heinz and Wieden+Kennedy, and produced by the Mayda Creative Co.
