"We're the unseen people- particularity in Victoria- because it was first impacted by colonization." [10:00]
"I found more of that 'bush' way of life, and wondered why it wasn't be honored. Part of connecting with family is having that feast, whether it be rabbit, mutton, or Johnnycakes." [13:00] -- Auntie Carolyn Briggs on Hot Grease
"That's what's so fun about living in Charleston- we have such a unique culture, and I'm still trying to figure it out!" [20:10]
"West Africa- that's the foundation of Southern cuisine. Even the agricultural techniques reflect West African roots." [25:30]
