Growing Home Collective is launching a series of workshops exploring historic Black recipes and food traditions. We begin our learning journey on Monday April 20th, from 5-7:30p with a hands-on cooking session around the famous Bean Pie, a dessert widely shared in the 1960s through the work of The Honorable Elijah Muhammad and the Nation of Islam. This pie originated as a symbol and example of:

• Black entrepreneurship
• Community sovereignty
• Healthy living
• Skill sharing and self-reliance
• Connection to land and ancestral food wisdom

Come and learn how to cook this historic recipe! Participants will take home a slice of pie!

5-5:30p Arrive, light appetizers, conversation

5:30-7:30p Pie making, discussion and tasting (Please arrive on time for this activity so you can fully participate.)
