Audio from the 2024 Charleston Conference Leadership Interview Series. Heather Staines, Senior Strategy Consultant, Delta Think interviews Andrea Cayetano-Jefferson, a sixth-generation Gullah Geechee sweetgrass basket sewer from Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. We had the pleasure of having Andrea speak with us at this year's Charleston Library Conference and got to experience her beautiful sweetgrass basket display inside the Gaillard Center. In this conversation, Andrea shares the history of sweetgrass baskets, which is one of the oldest African American art forms still practiced in the United States. She tells us about her personal journey in the craft which began in her childhood, the difficult process of collecting materials to create these baskets,  the cultural significance of the Gullah Geechee language, and the challenges of sustaining this ancient art form today for future generations. Today, these baskets are cherished not only as works of art but as a living connection to history, preserving the skills and stories of a people who have called the Lowcountry home for centuries.

Send us a textHow might simplifying your focus create space for what truly matters to flourish in your life this spring? A delightful spring energy infuses this conversation as co-host Omar Brownson shares his transformative experience with the Ubuntu Climate Initiative in South Carolina's Gullah Geechee lowcountry. His beautiful poem "Purple Sarongs" captures the essence of gathering on historically significant land where Dr. King dreamed his "I Have a Dream" speech—a powerful setting for visioning 150 years into our collective future.The synchronicity of simplicity emerges as an unexpected through-line when co-host Belinda Liu reflects on her annual community spring equinox experience in Mount Shasta.  She picked the simplicity card in the opening ritual when exploring the threads between money, resources and exchanging in community.Dr. Paul Wang, our special guest for this season, illuminates Daoist cosmology's approach to seasonal change, explaining how April serves as an intentional transitional month and rite of passage towards flowering through the process of budding.  This cycle is an ideal time for us to reconnect with our values and honor what's shifting within and around us. He describes spring's budding energy as concentrated potential—focused rather than dispersed—and offers a powerful three-step simplification process: 1) essentialize core values, 2) eliminate what doesn't align, and 3) embrace what remains by braiding it into unity.When they collectively choose the Gratitude Blooming card represented by the Nasturtium flower with its theme of friendship, the conversation deepens around how self-friendship forms the foundation for authentic community connection. Omar visualizes this as a vessel—a "friendship" carrying us forward together through periods of growth and change. They reflect on how trust accelerates transformation, noting that "change moves at the speed of trust," and how the clearer we can envision possibilities beyond current challenges, the more effectively we can practice that world today.Join us for our first Gratitude Blooming retreats in Mt.

African Americans have played an undeniable role in shaping American agriculture, yet today, they make up less than 2% of the nation's farmers. From the rich agricultural knowledge enslaved Africans brought with them - cultivating crops like rice, okra, and yam - to the broken promise of "40 acres and a mule," Black farmers have faced generations of systemic barriers.What happened during Reconstruction that made land ownership so difficult? How did sharecropping trap so many in cycles of debt? And what role did government policies, like those of the USDA, play in pushing Black farmers off their land? As millions left the rural South for Northern cities during the Great Migration, what became of their agricultural traditions?Join John and Patrick as they sit down with culinary historian, educator, and award-winning author Michael Twitty - whose works The Cooking Gene and Koshersoul have transformed the conversation around food, identity, and history. From the Gullah Geechee people and their deep connection to African crops to the rise of urban farming as a means of reclaiming Black agricultural heritage, this special livestream episode explores the struggles, resilience, and ongoing revival of African American farming traditions.----------Order Michael Twitty's award-winning books:The Cooking GeneKoshersoulFollow Michael on Instagram and Threads @thecookinggene----------In Sponsorship with Cornell University: Dyson Cornell SC Johnson College of Business-----------Join the History of Fresh Produce Club for ad-free listening, bonus episodes, book discounts and access to an exclusive chatroom community.Support us!Share this episode with your friendsGive a 5-star ratingWrite a review -----------Subscribe to our biweekly newsletter here for extra stories related to recent episodes, book recommendations, a sneak peek of upcoming episodes and more.-----------Instagram, TikTok, Threads:@historyoffreshproduceEmail: historyoffreshproduce@gmail.com

This episode finds us hitting the home stretch of Black History Month, which means it's time to get moving and support Milwaukee's Black-owned restaurants (something we should do year-round).

Minnesota Now runs over the lunch hour and often covers what chefs around the state are making for lunch, but it's not every day that the show gets to dig into the stories of food. There's a history behind everything we eat. On Feb. 15, a Minneapolis chef is celebrating Black History Month with a workshop about preserving the Gullah Geechee food traditions. Gullah Geechee people are descendants of Africans who were enslaved in coastal areas of the southeastern United States. They held onto traditions from Africa and mixed them with new ones, forming unique language, art and food. Chef James Johnson is bringing Gullah Geechee food to Minnesota with his catering company, Cooks of Hope. He spoke to MPR News host Nina Moini about keeping the tradition alive.

A major focus of the Minnesota state legislature is rooting out fraud in government programs. We heard about a new committee in the Republican-led House and talked to a DFL Senator about a bill to create a new agency aimed at finding and stopping fraud.

We heard more on his Minnesota roots and where he thinks U.S. foreign policy stands today.

It's not often thought of our Gullah Geechee ancestors as conservatives, but when you think about it, that's how they lived. With traditional skills and practices from West Africa, they used their community and daily way of living to be self-sustaining and self-sufficient. Those time honored skills of independence and strength also were rooted in the characteristics of fierce loyalty and patriotism. Our ancestors were built with all of the survival skills that they needed to to survive and thrive.

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.

We're back this week with the second half of our chat with Chef Amethyst Ganaway! If you haven't heard the first part yet, hit pause and go listen—it's full of great context for this episode. Chef Amethyst is an award-winning chef featured in The New York Times and Food & Wine magazine. She specializes in Gullah Geechee cuisine and the food of the African diaspora in the South. This week, we dive deeper into Gullah Geechee traditions, their influence on Southern food, and how these flavors and techniques shaped what we now think of as American cuisine. ✨ Highlights: Why Gullah Geechee food is the foundation of American cuisine. The story behind dishes like Hoppin' John (hint: it's not just peas and rice!) and okra stew. Pro tips for cooking okra—yes, you can get rid of the slime! How freshness, smokiness, and umami define Gullah Geechee flavors. Where to find authentic Gullah Geechee eats if you're around Charleston. If you're curious about the roots of farm-to-table or want to learn more about a cuisine that blends African, Indigenous, and Southern influences, this episode is for you.

I'm excited to welcome award-winning chef and food writer Amethyst Ganaway onto the pod as we delve into the history and culture of the Gullah Geechee people, descendants of West African slaves in the American South. Chef Amethyst shares the Gullah Geechee's enduring West African heritage, spanning language, food, art, and music, while tracing the vital role they played in the economic boom of the American South through their cultivation of Carolina Gold rice. This fascinating conversation delves into how isolation along the coast preserved their unique culture and how their contributions have shaped both Southern and American foodways.

There's no argument that trees are important to our environment. They give us beauty and of course, shade. Most Gullah folktales involve trees, which always play a significant part in Gullah Geechee culture. Many trees grow for hundreds of years. Ever wonder if they could talk and see, what stories would they tell?

Don't say yes to the stress. According to recent research, the biggest stressors of daily American life are finances (52%), current events (37%), health (37%) and relationships (29%). Here are four ways to tell if our bodies are pleading for pause — emotional changes, relationship strains, illness and digestive issues. In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Sunday, three teens were arrested for sexually abusing a fellow junior-varsity football teammate in an apparent hazing incident at James Madison High School in Brooklyn this week. Manhattan's famed luxury store row Fifth Avenue is in line for a major makeover. New York City officials unveiled a plan this week to transform a central portion of the thoroughfare between Bryant Park and Central Park into a more pedestrian-centered boulevard. And in Georgia, authorities said they are investigating the “catastrophic failure” of a dock gangway that collapsed and killed seven on Sapelo Island, where crowds had gathered for a fall celebration by the island's tiny Gullah-Geechee community of Black slave descendants.

Being a barfly can land you on the “no-fly.” Knocking back a few brews, shots or bubbles before takeoff may sound like a sweet way to take the edge off. But one flight attendant warns that overly plastered passengers will be forced to make an early exit. In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Monday, jury selection is beginning today in the criminal trial of the U.S. Marine Corps veteran charged with manslaughter for placing a man in a deadly chokehold on a New York City subway train last year. The Vessel, a towering, honeycomb-like sculpture in Manhattan that was popular with tourists before a series of suicides forced its closure in 2021, will reopen today with new safety features. And in Georgia, the frantic scene after an aluminum gangway collapsed Saturday at a boat dock on a barrier island capped what was supposed to have been a day of celebration, an annual festival spotlighting the culture and history of Sapelo Island's tiny Gullah-Geechee community of Black slave descendants.

Former President Donald Trump manned the fry station at a McDonald's restaurant in Pennsylvania on Sunday. He also held an impromptu news conference, answering questions from reporters at the drive-thru window. The visit came as he doubled down on his claim that Vice President Kamala Harris never worked at the fast-food chain when she was in college, while the Harris campaign said Trump's McDonald's event was a sign of desperation. Early voting in North Carolina began last week, and state officials report that more than one million residents have already voted in the November election. The turnout represents about 13 percent of North Carolina's 7.8 million registered voters—despite residents recovering from Hurricane Helene. Georgia officials are investigating the fatal collapse of a gangway attached to a dock on Saturday. Seven people were killed on the island of Sapelo during the annual Gullah Geechee festival. ⭕️ Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV

History books are full of misinformation about slavery. They often depict the enslaved as slow, lazy and even ignorant people who needed direction, to become civilized, or incapable of being independent. Of course, that couldn't be further from the truth. The enslaved Gullah Geechee were the best of the best of the best. They were the highly skilled, technological craftsmen who were stolen for the knowledge that they brought with them, and the labor that they could provide.

LISTEN: On the Wednesday, Oct. 16 edition of Georgia Today: Former President Donald Trump hosts a rally in Cobb County; voters tell us why they decided to head to the polls; and Gullah-Geechee community members react to the cancellation of a referendum that would have had big consequences for Sapelo Island.

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.

Students enrolled in HDS 3326 "Africana Religions and Healing in the American South," co-facilitated by Dr. Tracey E. Hucks and Dr. Melissa Wood Bartholomew, shared their experiences and takeaways from a study tour/pilgrimage the class took over Spring Break. The class traveled to the Gullah/Geechee heritage communities in the Lowcountry Sea Islands and to the historic slave sites, monuments, and former slave plantations in South Carolina and Georgia. The trip was designed to immerse students in the physical contexts they have been learning about to enhance their understanding of the spiritual technologies of practitioners and specialists and the material culture that accompanies alternative modes of spiritual healing and religious meaning for people in the African diaspora. This event took place on April 16, 2024. For more information: https://hds.harvard.edu A full transcript is forthcoming.

In this week's big voting rights case, Alexander v. South Carolina State Conference of the NAACP, the Supreme Court heard arguments concerning whether to uphold a South Carolina congressional map that is avowedly partisan (everyone agrees it favors Republicans, but partisan gerrymanders are A-OK under SCOTUS precedent). What is disputed here is whether the mapmakers relied on race to reach their partisan aims. A three-judge panel in South Carolina found it to be a racial gerrymander, and threw out the map. In arguments on Wednesday, it became clear that the high court's conservatives would rather toss out the evidence the lower court used to reach its decision, an unusual move for the highest court in the land, but perhaps the bed it's made for itself after ruling partisan gerrymanders non justiciable in Rucho v. Common Cause in 2019. And so SCOTUS cos-played as a trial court for two hours on Wednesday. On this week's Amicus, Dahlia Lithwick is joined by Leah Aden, senior counsel at the NAACP Legal Defense Fund who argued the case on behalf of the South Carolina Conference of the NAACP, and Taiwan Scott - a South Carolina voter and individual plaintiff in the case, who says the electoral power of his Gullah Geechee community is suppressed by the gerrymander.  Sign up for Slate Plus now to listen and support our show.  Dahlia's book Lady Justice: Women, the Law and the Battle to Save America, is also available as an audiobook, and Amicus listeners can get a 25 percent discount by entering the code “AMICUS” at checkout.
