We invite you to dive a bit deeper into cuisine with us during this week’s episode of Many Lumens, “Finding Black foodways with @coltrane215 and @cybillestaude .” ⁠ ⁠ The co-founders of @honeysuckle_provisions explain how the term “pretty plate” falls flat for them as they think about how food serves as nourishment for our bodies and kin, and the history and culture behind different cuisines. ⁠ ⁠ Listen above to a snippet, full episode out now on podcasts apps and manylumens.com, links in the bio! ⁠ ⁠ #HoneysuckleProvisions #OmarTate #CybilleStAudeTate #ManyLumens

For our final episode of Season 3, we are joined by renowned chefs @coltrane215 and @cybillestaude ! ⁠ The duo, known for their social justice-oriented approach to cuisine, co-founded @honeysuckle_provisions , an afro-centric grocery and café located in West Philadelphia. In our conversation they discuss how a “pretty plate” doesn’t go far enough, the courage it took to open up their shop, and how family history grounds them. ⁠ ⁠ Listen ahead of your holiday meal prep!

This week, we were honored to have @thejasonmoran join us on the podcast! ⁠ ⁠ The multi-talented musician and artist opens up about his early influences, including #PublicEnemy and #TheloniousMonk’s hit song “‘Round Midnight”. We learn why he prefers to call what he does soul music rather than jazz, and how the destruction of Black cultural spaces pushed him to preserve history through building art installations. ⁠ ⁠ Plus, host @maorikarmael and Jason discuss what “mid-life” means to them. ⁠ ⁠ Listen to the full episode on your favorite podcast app or at manylumens.com.

This week, we are joined by award-winning actor and multimedia artist @danielledeadwyler ! ⁠ ⁠ Danielle Deadwyler has become a household name through her lead roles on the hit television series #StationEleven and Hollywood blockbusters #TheHarderTheyFall and #Till.⁠ ⁠ In our conversation with Danielle, she opens up about her childhood growing up in Atlanta, her mother’s determination to give her access to the arts, and how the experiences of Black women’s labor have influenced her art and practice. Danielle also shares why theater is her favorite medium and what it’s been like to take on iconic roles on screen — including in TILL and the upcoming film adaptation of August Wilson’s #ThePianoLesson. ⁠ ⁠ Listen now on your favorite podcast app or at manylumens.com, links in the bio!⁠ ⁠ #DanielleDeadwyler

Earlier this season on Many Lumens, we were joined by director, writer and actor @cheriendabis . Cherien spoke poignantly about how film distributors had “Palestine fatigue”. Now, more than ever, we are reminded of the importance of telling Palestinian stories and centering historically-silenced voices in the narrative, so that history is not erased or rewritten.⁠ ⁠ Check out our full episode with Cherien at the link in the bio, and hear more about how she has pushed back against the industry standards, and has continually used her platforms to tell complex stories about her community. ⁠ ⁠ #FreePalestine

Have you listened to our conversation with @misscortes and @bethannhardison yet? ⁠ ⁠ Our host @maorikarmael sat down with them ahead of the theatrical release of @invisblebeauty , a feature documentary produced by the award-winning Lisa Cortés about Bethann Hardison’s pioneering journey as a Black model, modeling agent, and activist. ⁠ ⁠ The duo open up about how they both got their start and navigated trailblazing careers.
