In this bi-weekly IG live series, MoAD’s Chef-in-Residence Bryant Terry will talk to noted creatives of African descent (farmers, chefs, authors, activists, entrepreneurs, and the like) about how they have been navigating work and life during the stay-at-home order.

This week’s feature is Natalie Baszile

Natalie Baszile is the author of Queen Sugar, which has been adapted to a fifth television season co-produced by Ava DuVernay and Oprah Winfrey. Queen Sugar was named one of the San Francisco Chronicle's Best Books of 2014, and nominated for an NAACP Image Award.

Her new non-fiction book is We Are Each Other's Harvest: Celebrating African American Farmers, Land & Legacy. We Are Each Other’s Harvest is available at the MoAD Bookstore. Natalie's non-fiction work has appeared in National Geographic, Lenny Letter, The Bitter Southerner, O, The Oprah Magazine, and numerous anthologies.
