✨ NEW YORKER!!! ✨ Thanks to Dorothy Wickenden for your curiosity. No one has ever asked about my story, but plenty of assumptions about me have supplanted it. I’m glad that so much of it is now in the world. Relearning myself after the show came out has been painful and disorientating. It made a private person public, and in the process, anxious and reclusive. I’ve felt so much pressure from so many direction‘s that I have yet to enjoy any of my success. Fortunately, I’m more free now than I’ve been in a minute, and this article is another chance for me to blissfully succumb to the staggering blessings that continue to unfold in front of me and fall at my feet. Even when things are hard. There will be parts of this story that are revelatory even for those who’ve known me for a long time. That’s not a coincidence! That’s how we move in my family. I can’t believe they agreed! There are lots of people who weren’t mentioned in this story who had more than a hand in everything good that has come for me, and apologies for omissions but especially my sister Donna, and my Riri, Shayna and Tracie all raised me. My brother from another Pepper who was there with me in South Africa, Vanessa and Jessi Elkan, Samantha Crocker, Naomi Starkman, Jeff Gordinier, Dave Alexander, Lauren Weiss. Franklin, Debby, Angus. 🤍🤍🤍 KB, Xandre, Ashley Treni, MissK, Miss Stokes and Ora for letting me sleep on your couches when Whetstone was getting off the ground. Thanks especially to Fabi and Karis who saw me in this light before I saw myself. Roger Ross Williams, Dr. J and Shoshana Guy, who held me down by telling me to stand tall. To my old boss Jeff Hanak who seeded my career in media, and my homies friends Tunde Wey and Osayi Endolyn. I can’t believe I get to see the names of my ancestors lifted up in this way. Six generations from the Weaver plantation to New Yorker pages! Also shoutout to the nosy folks who have been dying to know my personal business!! Big day for y’all too!! Everyone else, I’d you have half an hour to reach the origin story of an origin forager, it’s all there in The New Yorker!! With gratitude, -sAs-

Major thank you to @fastcompany for including me in your list of most creative people in business in 2023! @honetalent has been a revelation and much more enlivening than I ever could have imagined. I love working with such a diverse group of talented hustlers strategizing on maximizing craft and cash. HONE is very young and showing incredible promise. I love it. Special thank you to @shanikahillocks who has made it happen in our early days. Grateful! If you’re wondering what we can do for you, don’t hesitate to holler!

Gulf shrimp with tamarind sauce, red pepper coulis, or toasty fonio. Savory soupa konja, made lovingly with puffed rice, crab and okra. Cornmeal-crusted flounder. Palm bread. Tea service. Though the particulars ebb and flow like the nearby Mississippi River, Chef Serigne Mbaye’s 7-course pescatarian sampling menu is a serious showstopper, bridging cuisines from his native Dakar, Senegal, and New Orleans. Guests who gather at community tables West African style to partake in the feast are lucky indeed. Chef Mbaye designed Dakar NOLA @dakarnola as a valentine to two beloved (and coastal) cities: New Orleans and his native Dakar, Senegal. Traditional Sengalese spices and techniques may permeate every delicious mouthful, but the vibe is saturated with the heart and soul of New Orleans. For @resy’s Corner Table, Whetstone sits down with Chef Mbaye and managing director/co-owner, Dr. Afua “Effie” Richardson for a taste of Dakar NOLA’s story. “I want people to leave our restaurant and feel like they learned that West African cuisine also matters. They learn that we have something to offer.” — Chef Mbaye Must be 21 years of age or older to consume alcoholic beverages. Please drink responsibly. Photographer: Kat Kimball
