Michael dives into the Gullah language, recently recognized as a distinct linguistic heritage spoken by over 250,000 people in South Carolina's Lowcountry. Rooted in African and Caribbean traditions, Gullah isn't just a dialect—it's a cultural treasure that's slowly fading without active preservation.Michael shares why Gullah has often been misunderstood or dismissed, and how institutions like the Smithsonian and Harvard are working to document and study it. He also reflects on today's generational divides and expresses deep concern for the future of young African-American males.The episode concludes with personal stories of family, legacy, and love. Michael speaks candidly about what motivates him: his grandchildren and the desire to leave behind more than wealth—something deeply human and irreplaceable.This is more than an interview—it's a tribute to heritage, love, and purpose. ✅ Top 3 Highlights:

Musical influences can come from anywhere, but never before have we been able to understand the cultural and regional impacts that the very sounds that we hear in various parts of the US and around the world come from all around the diaspora. So from African beats to the blended sounds from the Gullah community to Cajun and Northern states, wherever you're hearing music, it can be and has been traced back to its origins. Listen in on a fascinating conversation about a study on where the variety of music and genres that we love truly came from.

When it comes to the Gullah Islands, Hilton Head and St. Helena, South Carolina and Sapelo and Jekyll Islands in Georgia, are usually the ones that are the first to come to mind. But sandwiched between Hilton Head and Charleston is Edisto Island, which just like the rest of the Gullah islands, has a rich and storied history of its own.

Hosts Pat Cobe, senior menu editor of Restaurant Business, and Bret Thorn, senior food & beverage editor of Nation's Restaurant News and Restaurant Hospitality, had a busy week going to chain restaurants' promotional events in New York City.Pat had high tea featuring Portillo's menu items, and Bret went to a preview of the first United States location of Chinese chain Pull-Tab Coffee, whose signature menu item is a sort of reversed iced cappuccino: Coffee foam on top of milk on the rocks. He also went to Bar Tender, a two-day pop-up in Brooklyn created by Wingstop, featuring the chain's upgraded, crunchier chicken tenders in 12 different flavors (he didn't try them all, but he did his best).They also discussed the big chain news of Wendy's new Frosty options. They can now be blended with syrups, and starting in May there will be mix-ins available — like Dairy Queen Blizzards.Also big news: McDonald's has upgraded its lemonade, doing away with Minute Maid (although its orange juice is still in stock), and replacing it with a beverage of lemon juice, lemon pulp and sugar. Then Bret shared an interview with Juan and Gee Smalls, the owners of three-unit Virgil's Gullah Kitchen & Bar in Atlanta, featuring the food of the Gullah and Geechee people of the coastal areas from North Carolina to Georgia. They're first-time restaurateurs, motivated by what they saw as a need for venues owned and operated by Black gay people. The couple discuss their learning process and plans for the future.

We often talk about or recognize that we're descendants of enslaved people, but what does that really mean? Acknowledging it is just one part of accepting who we are and where we came from. But what's most important, is not only appreciating the richness of our our culture, but also capturing and passing down our traditional practices, so that future generations can continue on ancestral paths that were left for us to follow and hear the voices of wisdom from those who came before us.

Dr. Emory Campbell has spent his life ensuring that Gullah history isn't just remembered—it's celebrated and shared. In honor of Black History Month, we sat down with him to talk about keeping this rich heritage alive.

Years ago, there was this big craze or "discovery" of what was called Ebonics or Black Slang. Well, first of all, its not new. For many reasons, enslaved people chose, out of resistance and as a way of holding on to their cultural identity, to create and speak an indigenous English based Creole language.

Every day, Americans are using Gullah Geechee traditions in what we say, do and eat. The culture and its foodways can be traced directly back to West Africa for several centuries. One pot meals are just the beginning of a great meal that's full of some amazing cultural flavors, ingredients and Gullah Geechee impacts to American dishes that we enjoy today.

Dr. Kendra Hamilton's book, Romancing the Gullah in the Age of Porgy and Bess, is a literary and cultural history of a place: the Gullah Geechee Coast, a four-state area that's one of only a handful of places that can truly be said to be the “cradle of Black culture” in the United States.

Aaron and Josh Sarnecky are here to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Gullah Gullah Island. Gullah Gullah Island is a musical children's program created by Maria Magdalena Perez, Kathleen Minton Catapano, and Kit Laybourne. It premiered on Nick Jr. on October 24, 1994.  Gullah Gullah Island is inspired by the Gullah culture of St. Helena Island, South Carolina. It centers on Ron Alston (Ron Daise) and Natalie Alston (Natalie Daise), who teach their kids and the kids at home valuable lessons through song.  Joining in the fun is the giant frog Binyah Binyah (Philip D. Garcia, Justin Campbell). Vanessa Baden, who portrays Vanessa Alston, also starred in Nickelodeon's Kenan & Kel.  Gullah Gullah Island was positively received by critics, earning a Daytime Emmy nomination for Outstanding Pre-School Children's Series in 1997, as well as nominations for multiple NAACP Image Awards.

They're dishing about their brand-new cookbook, Does This Taste Funny?—a project born right in the middle of pandemic life at home. Stephen and Evie share the hilarious backstory of how this all came together, dive into their kitchen quirks (spoiler: they don't always see eye-to-eye in the kitchen), and their mutual love for Gullah cuisine from the heart of South Carolina's Lowcountry.

It's the best compliment.” – Jen Hatmaker “My mom grew up in the heyday of processed foods. She didn't have a lot of recipes that didn't come from the back of a bottle of chili sauce or a packet of dried soup mix. So that's where I started my culinary journey.” – Stephen Colbert “Those people who have cooking shows are amazing.

We don't think about how important music is in our lives. For enslaved people, music was a source of strength that might have been one of the few things that helped them get throughout the day. Listen in on a fascinating conversation with Keeper of the Culture, Dr. Eric Crawford, the author of Gullah Culture in America, on the importance and power that music was and still is in our daily life.

Growing up Gullah, Zenobia Harper was gifted with all of the rich foundations that the culture has to offer, but walked away from it. Now, she's not only embracing her Gullah roots, but she's actively working to preserve it for future generations.

During enslavement, sometimes all that people had were the memories of oral traditions and stories that they could remember. Most of the folktales that were shared, were African in origin and interestingly enough, alot of those folktales continue to be the foundation and in a significant amount of the children's stories that we all know today.

From performing on the stage, to the Nickelodeon TV show, Gullah Gullah Island, to painting on canvas, to authoring Gullah focused books, Natalie Daise is an incredible cultural force and truly a keeper of the culture!

Gabrielle Smith of Hot Box Kitchen specializes in Gullah cuisine and farm-to-table dishes.

Estrenada en 1991, en el Festival de Sundance, Daughters of the Dust es la quintaesencia del filme independiente de esos años: realizada por al margen de la industria, con una puesta en escena absolutamente singular y por un equipo que jamás pensó en integrarse al mainstream. No es exactamente teatro filmado, pero sus textos están declamados. No es cine-ensayo, pero la tesis que sustenta el relato es casi más importante que éste. En su tiempo fue clasificada junto a los filmes de Spike Lee, John Singleton y Charles Burnett, pero en rigor no está conectado con ninguno de ellos y sí mucho más al L.A. Rebellion, una corriente de artistas y activistas que tardaría en dejar real huella en el cine estadounidense. Estas "hijas del polvo" tienen su base en la inevitable migración y deriva de la población negra, acosada por el racismo, la pobreza y la vulnerabilidad, décadas después de la emancipación de la esclavitud y la guerra civil: ambientada en el seno de la población Gullah —un grupo de familias que se afincó en la isla de Saint Helena (en Carolina del Norte) desarrollando incluso su propio dialecto— la película dramatiza el picnic de la familia Peazant, al borde del mar que los separa del continente. Es el último que tendrán antes de partir, en un viaje que será tan frágil como monumental. De eso y más se habla en este podcast.

The southern coast of North Carolina had hundreds of plantations, most of which, grew rice. Cultural ties between the Gullah, Africa and North Carolina, and the connection to rice is so very strong. That's why documenting, remembering and more importantly, telling the plantation story is so critical, so that our ancestors are honored.

Unfortunately, when people think about the Gullah Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor, most gravitate to South Carolina. But, when it comes to the story of rich and communities, Gullah Geechee culture is just as rich and significant along the coastline of southern North Carolina, as it is through Georgia and further down towards Florida.

Did you know that one of the first Memorial Day Celebrations began as a Gullah holiday?

Dr. Otis Pickett brings not just a wealth of educational distinction to his role as the historian for Clemson University, but also a wealth of life experience. He grew up in Mount Pleasant spending time with his grandfather, a small-town medical family practitioner on Pitt Street in the Old Village. Many of his grandfather's patients were African-Americans descendants of the Gullah people. "He treated each one of his patients with dignity, honor and respect," Pickett said. "It didn't matter if it was the governor or a poor man who meandered aimlessly up and down Pitt Street." In the mid-1990s Pickett and his mother began attending Trinity Baptist Church and were often the only whites who attended. With the encouragement of Rev. Herman Robinson, Pickett pursued pastoral ministry. He is now a decorated author, historian and religious scholar. He has been known to officiate weddings of former students. In present times, Pickett can be seen at many Clemson sporting events. He returned to his alma mater in 2022 after accepting his dream job as the third Clemson historian in the university's history (and the first Clemson alum to serve in that capacity). Pickett's predecessor, Paul Anderson, now serves as Clemson's Director of Football Academics and Freshman Transition. Anderson joined the football program in 2021 after more than two decades at Clemson as a decorated educator and historian. A significant part of Pickett's mission is introducing and framing the public conversation on Clemson's past, which includes difficult and complicated topics on race. "We've got to interpret it and talk about it," he said. "I get Clemson. I love Clemson, and I don't think there's a bigger Clemson sports fan than I am. I go to everything, and I've been pulling for Clemson since I was 2. "I love Clemson. But I'm also like: 'Hey, there's this history that may be difficult. But it also, I think, makes Clemson more interesting. I want to walk through that history. I want people to understand it.' ... We're simply talking about what people have been talking about for 200 and 300 years, which is this concept of race. And in the South that's a big concept and something that shapes our entire culture. And at Clemson it has shaped our culture in a lot of ways." Pickett previously served in the School of Education at the University of Mississippi preparing Social Studies teachers, the Director of Social Studies Education Programs at Mississippi College, and Associate Professor of History in the Department of History at Mississippi College. Pickett played a role in the state of Mississippi adopting a new state flag that retired the 1894 flag and its Confederate battle emblem. Pickett is also the co-founder and co-director of the Prison to College Pipeline Program, the first program in the state of Mississippi to offer tuition free, credit bearing college courses to incarcerated students. Pickett's grandfather, Robert Alexander Westbrook, graduated in the Class of 1950. His great grandfather, Albert Hayne McMeekin, was in the Class of 1918. Pickett and his wife Julie (Class of 2002) live in Clemson and have three children: Martha Jane, Otis, Jr. and Thomas.   He met his future wife on her 21st birthday at the Esso Club.               

Dr. Kendra Y. Hamilton's Romancing the Gullah in the Age of Porgy and Bess (University of Georgia Press, 2024) is a literary and cultural history of the Gullah Geechee Coast, a four-state area that is one of only a handful of places that can truly be said to be the “cradle of Black culture” in the United States. An African American ethnic group who predominantly live in the Lowcountry region of South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, and Florida within the coastal plain and the Sea Islands, the Gullah people have preserved a significant influence of Africanisms because of their unique geographic isolation.  This book seeks to fill a significant cultural gap in Gullah history. While there is a veritable industry of books on literary Charleston and on the Lowcountry, along with a plenitude of Gullah-inspired studies in history, anthropology, linguistics, folklore, and religion, there has never been a comprehensive study of the region's literary influence, particularly in the years of the Harlem and Charleston Renaissance. By giving voice to artists and culture makers, uncovering buried histories, and revealing secret cross-racial connections amid official practices of Jim Crow, Hamilton sheds new light on an incomplete cultural history. Dr. Kendra Y. Hamilton is an associate professor of English and Director of Southern Studies at Presbyterian College. Learn more about your ad choices.

Hamilton's Romancing the Gullah in the Age of Porgy and Bess (University of Georgia Press, 2024) is a literary and cultural history of the Gullah Geechee Coast, a four-state area that is one of only a handful of places that can truly be said to be the “cradle of Black culture” in the United States. An African American ethnic group who predominantly live in the Lowcountry region of South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, and Florida within the coastal plain and the Sea Islands, the Gullah people have preserved a significant influence of Africanisms because of their unique geographic isolation.  This book seeks to fill a significant cultural gap in Gullah history. While there is a veritable industry of books on literary Charleston and on the Lowcountry, along with a plenitude of Gullah-inspired studies in history, anthropology, linguistics, folklore, and religion, there has never been a comprehensive study of the region's literary influence, particularly in the years of the Harlem and Charleston Renaissance. By giving voice to artists and culture makers, uncovering buried histories, and revealing secret cross-racial connections amid official practices of Jim Crow, Hamilton sheds new light on an incomplete cultural history.
