Cookbook Potluck: Celebrating Black Women in Food
Let’s celebrate Black women in food with a potluck at Black woman-owned bookstore Call and Response, by cooking together from one of four cookbooks authored by Black women in food! This fundraiser will be to fund materials for Azadi Folk School’s fall African-American folk art classes, including quilting and woodworking!
If you'd like to support Azadi Folk School but can't come to the potluck, you can donate here! Receipts will note the donation as going to Women Unite!, our fiscal sponsor.
We also want to show some love to Black-owned bookstore Call and Response Books as they navigate ongoing gentrification and a big-box bookstore opening in Hyde Park. So if you buy the book from Call and Response and email a copy of your receipt to [email protected], you’ll be entered into a raffle to win prizes!
We want to see all of our community there, but know that not everyone has the time or space to cook. So if you want to attend but won’t be able to cook, choose that ticket option so the Azadi team can prepare some dishes to ensure there is enough food for everyone!
Two weeks before the potluck, we will send out a shared spreadsheet to attendees detailing what everyone is cooking so choosing recipes can be simpler. Hope to see you there!
