Stories from the Hem of my Mother's Apron
Hannah Drake's dinner project is called Stories From The Hem Of My Mother’s Apron. She’s afraid there’s a generation of African Americans who aren’t cooking and documenting recipes. And she doesn’t want them to become a storyless generation.

Show Notes
For Hannah Drake, it all started with a trip to Dakar, Senegal.
The author, poet, mother, and native Kentuckian was transformed by the communal experience of simply preparing and eating food with other women.
So occasionally she gathers a group of women for dinner. All the women have to do is bring a dish, along with their mother or sister. The goal: To cook and eat a meal with loved ones, and share stories and recipes.
