I tried to find that spiritual
access to the everyday world, where I am using one thing to talk about
another. There is more going on than what I have showed you in the photograph,

to do to survive in slavery. A lot of the weird things that are in black
cuisine came from slavery, from not having anything and having to make
do with very little.
