The Black Culinary Alliance is a very special organization that works to recruit, train, and place more people of color in the food industry.
I recently attended their annual fund raising dinner which featured fantastic food cooked by students in the program.
Founder Alex Askew (far right) is an amazing guy, who almost single-handedly runs the entire organization.
During my remarks on stage I quoted the Buddha
“Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared."
Alex is the living embodiment of this.
