From the Kitchen of @muloma.heritage 👩🏾🍳👨🏾🍳
Ancestral Kitchen is a community-centered, hands-on culinary program that blends culinary skill-building with cultural preservation, positioning food as both craft and living archive.
The program focuses on African Atlantic and Gullah Geechee foodways through cooking, cultural education, and a shared meal with the community. Participants will explore traditional techniques, ingredient histories, and the cultural lineage connecting African and Southern cuisines.
We’re currently gathering interest from culinary students and community members who would like to participate in the Ancestral Kitchen Pilot Program, launching April 2026. If this speaks to you, please sign up using the link in our bio. Spaces are limited; additional details will be shared soon!

On the 10th anniversary of the National Day of Racial Healing, the National Collaborative for Health Equity (NCHE) is proud to launch HOPE in Action, a new podcast series uplifting stories that advance healing justice and health equity.
The inaugural episode features interdisciplinary artists and healers Mahoganee Amigér and April Fitzpatrick, MS, ATR-BC, LMHC who explore the transformative power of arts and culture in historically marginalized communities.
Through personal stories and professional insights, they show how creative expression can drive confidence, healing, and systemic change—from classrooms to community spaces.

✨ Key themes from Episode 1:
• Art as Data: Creative expression reveals community needs and strengths

“Why Facebook?”
Reality, logistics, strategy. It’s where people of all ages/backgrounds go for local groups. If you’re trying to build a village of the people living closest to you, going to the app with the most people on it makes the most sense + if you’re seeing this post from your IG account, FB ALREADY HAS YOUR DATA.
“We have a 1k+ group in my city already!”
City groups are GREAT but not realistic to truly build a self-functioning community or if the internet goes down. The point of this route is to get to know the people within a mile or so radius of you (where they live what they do what their number is) before you’re forced too.
“My neighbors are all *the other guy*”
Both guys need to get together so we can all hop off the hamster wheel a handful of guys are forcing us to run on. The people closest to you will your community whether or not you like it. Better to build bridges and prove them wrong by being a good person than burn the bridge and regret it later if things get shaky.
✊🏽 If we can build a unified community within our neighborhoods, we can build one across our country!

Da Man In Front of Da Music:
Mr. Bounce Back was born in DC when it was known as Chocolate City.
His Mama listened to music everyday with him in the womb so he came out with da Call & Response energy. He was born just as Go-Go music was birthed by the one and only Southern born North Carolina Gullah Geechee Mr. Chuck Brown so he had no choice but to have a strong love for the live sound with a deep percussion section.
As a synesthete he creates music from a special place of deep emotional connections, kinetic energy, illuminating as a spectrum of colors which creates a synergy that reaches the deepest parts of your mind, body and soul. It allows for the entry point of a place not often tapped into so a reclamation of home is now awakened.
A 3X Stroke survivor. He is Special. Blessed and Highly Favored. -Mahoganee 🤎❣️🖤

Ah Shay Ah Shay 💜
These earliest forms of Gullah songs originated from Africa and are examples of West African chant songs that still possess West African words: Rockah mh Moomba Cum bo-ba yonda Lil-aye tambe I rockah mh Moomba and Funga ola fay ah, Ah shay ah shay, Funga ola fay ah, Ah shay ah shay. (We welcome you with open arms and love in our hearts. We welcome you with open arms and love in our hearts.) The West African musical elements in Gullah music laid the foundation for modern African American music. [Passage from: Music Education through Gullah; The Legacy of a Forgotten Genre by Marianne Rice]

The Source of a Sanctuary that is Culture, Heritage and History deserves to be left alone from predators with a colonizers spirit.

As a Gullah Geechee cultural creative placemaker who believes in the sanctity of a place staying in the hands of its indigenous community to decide what’s best for it’s future I speak from a placemaker who honors and creates from the purest essence of the land. I create from that place and I honor our ancestors stories and refuse to side with people who go against the very core of what our ancestors lived and died for. -Mahoganee 🪴
Our “Sense of Place” sound clinics at @penncenter@penncenter1862 in partnership with @conservationleague and @npcapics were absolutely amazing.
We’re ready to run that back.
We were able to implement TRHT practices learned from our @nche_4all National Collaborative Health Equity convening.
We had wonderful food from our favorite local island restaurant @seasidebargrill
Using our Gullah Geechee roots and music to not only entertain but heal and educate. 🪴🌴🌾💧🌊
