As Black History Month kicks off, we’re revisiting an important conversation from 2021 about what this month means to us and how we celebrate it as mothers and lifelong learners. 


 In this episode, Kaanji and Tara reflect on the significance of Black History Month, how we approach it in our families, and the ways we can ensure it’s not just a once-a-year event but an ongoing journey of learning and appreciation.

We discuss:
✔️ Why Black History Month still matters today for all of us, regardless of ethnic and cultural backgrounds
✔️ Ways to celebrate and engage
✔️ The importance of representation 
✔️ How we can move beyond performative gestures to real education and action. 


Whether you’re a longtime listener or tuning in for the first time, this episode is a great reminder that Black history is American history.  

Let’s continue the conversation! How do you celebrate Black History Month? Share your thoughts with us on social media.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
