Here at Booker T., we uplift and celebrate Black foodways each and every day and our Guest Chef Dinner in collaboration with our friends at Farming Hope was an evening of just that,celebration.

Last week we welcomed Chef Alexander Smalls (Alexander Smalls), Chef Fernay McPherson of Minnie Bell’s Soul Movement (Minnie Bell's Soul Movement), and artist and publisher bryant terry (bryant terry studio) to Refettorio San Francisco (Refettorio San Francisco) for an evening of celebration, community, and culture.

Inspired by the works of Chef Alexander’s Contemporary African Kitchen, the evening was full of reflection, stories, honoring traditions, and highlighting culture. Chef Fernay and Farming Hope’s Apprentices worked together to offer a menu rooted in the African Diaspora with each dish telling a story and drawing on the expansiveness of African cuisine.

We want to thank Alexander Smalls , Minnie Bell's Soul Movement, bryant terry studio, Farming Hope , Farming Hope Apprenctices, Food for Soul , our event partners, and volunteers, for helping make this night an unforgettable one.

We can’t wait to do it all over again!

Naomi! Thank you for showing our scholars that they can make a difference in their family and community today during harambee!

As our read aloud guest, Naomi read The Interpreter by Olivia Abtahi, a bilingual book about a young girl who’s caught between wanting to help her family navigate the challenges of translating from Spanish to English and English to Spanish in grown-up places and just being a kid. Thank you for your joy and your representation, Naomi.

Booker T. has a storied history with the Japanese community dating back to the 1950s when the Center operated out of the Kinmon Gakuen Language School to help preserve the building and belongings of those being forced into internment camps. This relationship still stands strong today and our legacy is why we’re always proud to be a part of .

Our youth team brought big relaxation vibes, even in the pouring rain! We gave out books from and had games for the entire family to enjoy. Did you get a book? Tag us in your photos!
