Food, Individuality and Music - Summer 2022 Issue

 
Food, Individuality, and Music – Inspired by the Netflix series High on the Hog: How African American Cuisine Transformed America, this issue explores the deep connection between food, music, and individuality. These elements evoke nostalgia, memories, and cultural ties that shape our personal and societal experiences.
 
We dive into the intersection of food and music, featuring stories from the UK, America, Bangladesh, and South Africa. On the front cover, we spotlight the legendary group The Emotions, known for classics like “Flowers” and “The Best of My Love.”
 
We also hear from Wayne Vaughn, the renowned producer and keyboardist who worked with Earth, Wind & Fire. He discusses his passion for food, personal health choices, and the link between music and food culture. Wyann and Wendi share their food choices, challenges, and health journeys as well as their love of music as being solo artists in their own right and also performing with their mother Wanda Vaughn of the Emotions..
 
In this issue, Award-Winning author Kwame McPherson shares a seductive passage from his book, and Lubna Ul-Haq introduces her website Curry Foodie, an oasis for curry lovers.
 
We also review the Bespoke Afternoon Tea Event hosted by Esther Austin Global with the legendary group Shalamar at The Biltmore Hotel in Mayfair.
 
Plus, Katie Rose contributes another beautifully written piece about life, love, music, and food as tools for healing.
 
All this and more in a packed issue with global stories, insights, and inspiration.
