Feeding Our Souls: The Essence of Joy events explore the themes of connecting through foods which have always played a pivotal role in shaping our identities and communities. Recipes and flavors bind families, showcase heritage, and promote understanding. This series delves into this unique intersection of food and culture, inviting participants to explore the rich narratives behind every dish.

The Feeding Our Souls: The Essence of Food and Musical Joy evening will examine the connections and relationship of food and music.  Partners for this unique integration of the arts will feature Chef James Johnson, Founder of Cooks of Hope, and members of VocalEssence, G. Phillip Shoultz, III, Associate Artistic Director. Through the richness of Gullah-Geechie, Low Country cuisine, traditional spirituals, Gullah music, and story circle dialogues, this event is aimed to uplift and share important cultural legacy stories and histories.
