You know you did THAT when @carlaphall’s chin lands on your head. 😂

It was an honor to curate and host the BSH Eats Cookbook Soirée celebrating Carla’s latest cookbook, Carla Bakes.

@chefjoemarshall and @mrbakesweets brought the book to life with a divine menu, all in the stunning BSH Home Appliances dream kitchen.

Grateful to my incredible @dinediaspora team, the BSH team, and our partners @houseofbrown.wine, @burlapandbarrel, and @saratogawater for helping make the evening special.

This is 12!

Twelve years ago, this milestone felt so distant.

We couldn’t have predicted the vibrant campaigns, packed festivals, inspiring partnerships, impactful conferences, the remarkable talent in the kitchens and spaces we’ve had the privilege to shape. But we did know one thing: we were going to build lasting food memories.

Thank you for being part of our journey. Happy anniversary to us!

❤️ Maame & Nina

If you want to go far, go together. 🥂

One thing I never want to be lost on anyone is the incredible people who pour their talents into building this vision alongside me.

The @blackwomeninfood Summit media preview at the BSH Home Appliances showroom was a true testament to collaboration from the voices and curated dishes to the stunning atmosphere.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and continues to build with us. Onward - together.

Conferences are more than panels and workshops. They are opportunities to deepen relationships.

At the @blackwomeninfood Summit we create a space to convene, connect, and appreciate the people that lend their resources to help us bring our mission to life.

Isn't this space perfect for an intimate gathering during the Summit for our funders and advisors?

This is precisely the time when artists go to work.

There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear.

We speak, we write, we do language. That is how civilizations heal.
