Author and creator Anela Malik joins Dr. Cassandre Dunbar to explore American Soul: The Black History of Food in the United States. Together they unpack the wellness wisdom in Black food traditions—and how honoring soul food can be a radical act of self-care.
In this episode, we discussed:
• How National Geographic discovered Anela Malik and sparked American Soul
• Why Black and Indigenous foodways were the first “farm-to-table” movement
• The real story behind soul food and wellness
• Writing a book while running a business + navigating ADHD
