In the first installment of the Interludes “Soul Food” series, host Valarie “The Voice” Johnson explores how food connects culture, community, and history.
The episode begins with Andrew and Janique Edwards, the visionary couple behind EatOkra, the groundbreaking app that helps users discover and support Black-owned restaurants. It ends by tracing the journey of okra itself — a humble vegetable that crossed oceans from Africa and became a staple of African American culinary tradition.
A flavorful reflection on innovation, legacy, and the stories that live in every dish.
