We were thrilled to welcome WMAR's Cyera Williams into the BGC Kitchen during our Spring Break Culinary Boot Camp last week! 🧑🏾‍🍳✨ She got an up-close look at the incredible skills of our young chefs, learned more about our mission, and even tasted the flavorful Brown Stewed Chicken with Rice & Peas and Sweet Plantains prepared by the girls. 🍗🍚🍌 This moment was more than just cooking—it was about celebrating culture, building community, and instilling pride in our heritage. 🌍✨ Our girls showed the power of empowerment through food as they explored flavors of the Black Diaspora with creativity and heart. 💪🏾💜 #BlackGirlsCook #CulinaryBootCamp #BlackDiaspora #GirlEmpowerment #CultureAndCommunity (fb)
