We're finishing up our series with our final three famous black chefs.

Carla Hall, a two-time “Top Chef” finalist, is a driving force in the culinary industry by highlighting the contributions that the Black community has made to the craft. She received an NAACP Image Award nomination for her cookbook “Carla Hall’s Soul Food: Everyday and Celebration.” She honors her Nashville upbringing, as well as her West African ancestors, by incorporating Southern United States, African, and Caribbean flair into her recipes made with farm-fresh ingredients.

Matthew Raiford, who calls himself a “CheFarmer” (chef and farmer), is paving the way for future culinarians by showing the everchanging ways to enjoy authentic Southern food through his organic farming practices and farm-to-fork cooking style. He combines history and family in his culinary creations to honor and celebrate his Gullah Geechee heritage.

Michael W. Twitty, a food writer and culinary historian, who centers his work around “culinary justice” — honoring food and culinary past while paving the way for the future. Twitty won the 2018 James Beard Foundation Book of the Year award for his book, “The Cooking Gene,” which explores his journey through Africa’s culinary history and culture and the development and impact of African food culture in the American South.

Eating Disorders Awareness Week reminds us that, while conversations about eating disorders can be difficult, they are essential. Eating disorders are serious, life-threatening mental illnesses that impact people of all ages, genders, races, and body sizes.

According to the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA), 30 million Americans will struggle with an eating disorder in their lifetime. Unfortunately, these illnesses are on the rise, making awareness and early intervention more important than ever.

At SAGE, we recognize the risks within the communities we serve and take proactive steps to support students. We’ve partnered with Eating Recovery Center Baltimore for over a decade to develop training programs that help our Team Members identify potential warning signs and work with school administration to connect individuals with the help they need.

If you or someone you know is struggling, you are not alone. Check out , , or for resources and support. Early detection saves lives.

Throughout the month, we’re celebrating Black chefs whose creativity, leadership, and vision continue to influence how — and why — we cook.

Edna Lewis reshaped how America understood Southern cuisine, highlighting its deep connection to the land and the importance of seasonal, fresh ingredients. In 1949, she began cooking at Café Nicholson, serving notable guests like Eleanor Roosevelt, Marlon Brando, Tennessee Williams, Truman Capote, and more.

Marcus Samuelsson is known for his bold, global approach to American cooking. A James Beard Best Chef: New York City honoree and the youngest chef to earn a Michelin three-star rating, he draws inspiration from Africa, the Caribbean, and his Ethiopian-Swedish heritage, creating dishes that honor identity, culture, and innovation.
