Afro-Indo-American: Cooking Kunde from Scratch

What happens when flavors from the Swahili coast, India, West Africa, and the US meet in a dish? Meet Kunde, a Kenyan curry made from black-eyed peas. Join a cooking session with Mariah-Rose Marie, the home chef, author, and illustrator of COOK LIKE YOUR ANCESTORS, for an introduction to a naturally plant-based, affordable, and surprisingly easy to make meal. Free and open to the public, but registration is required.

Mariah-Rose Marie is a graphic novelist, story artist, educator, and writer based in Tovaangar, aka Los Ángeles. Their comic, illustration, and storyboard work can be seen anywhere from Netflix and HBO Max to The New Yorker, Science for the People Magazine, EATER, and the multi-award winning graphic journalism magazine, The Nib. Always with empathy (and often with humor) Mariah-Rose interweaves the individual and the global through stories that reach across political borders and personal identity.

Presented by the BU Office for the Arts, co-sponsored by Boston University College of Fine Arts' Visual Narrative program, BU Food Studies Program, and the Howard Thurman Center for Common Ground.
