Charleston, South Carolina, exemplifies how historical legacy and culinary heritage can fuel modern innovation. African American culinary entrepreneurs illustrate how to draw inspiration from the region's rich past without being constrained by it. Sarah Reynolds Green, in particular, emphasizes the importance of cultivating a clean heart in her farming practices, teaching youth about healthy food and community values. This approach reflects the broader theme of reconciliation with history to create a contemporary culinary identity that honors tradition while advocating for collaboration and growth.
When you are out here growing food, your heart has to be clean.... Your vibration has an effect on the universe.
As we toured the South Carolina coast, African American culinary entrepreneurs showed just how to build off history—and not be bound by it.
Few US cities have so profitably capitalized on their past and their foodways as Charleston, South Carolina.
Reinvention is perpetual, necessary for cities and foodways to survive.
