Black Excellence Month: Feed Your Soul
We’re thrilled to collaborate with NewCanaanite.com on what we are rebranding as “Black Excellence Month: Feed Your Soul" all Black History Month long. We kicked off the month with our Founder and President Fatou Niang's interview with NewCanaanite.com, which you can read here.
In our second week of Black Excellence Month: Feed Your Soul with NewCanaanite.com, we're sharing Ms. Georgia Gilmore's story. Ms. Gilmore fed and funded the 381-day Montgomery Bus Boycott, and that's not all she did for the Civil Rights Movement in her 70 years. In our third week, we're sharing local artist, poet, educator, and President of diverse LGBTQIA+ and women led grassroots org R.A.G.E.T.I.M.E. Kyla Johns, who is a New Canaan Country School alum as well as a graduate of Darien High School. Finally, we're wrapping up with Executive Chef Damon Sawyer of 29 Markle Ct in Bridgeport, CT, who will be joining us at Soul•Fête: From Africa to America, A Culinary Tasting Immersion.
