Kevin Mitchell + Champion Chills (LIVE)
South Carolina is where we meet up with Kevin Mitchell. He’s a man of many talents and titles including Culinary Historian, Chef Instructor at the Culinary Institute of Charleston and South Carolina Chef Ambassador 2020. Kevin’s a strong proponent for the preservation of Southern ingredients, and is widely known for his expertise on the historical importance and influence of African American cuisine. We explore Kevin’s career as a chef and educator, and he also provides us some historical insights into the African American culinary experience. Songwriter and hip hop artist, Jimmy Jolliff, a.k.a. Champion Chills, shares some of his latest tracks with us. We also dive into the importance of interacial allyship, leveraging privilege to provide opportunity, and most importantly, keeping our ears and hearts open for discussion and education.
