Grandma's Greens: A Blessing for the Soul
Abstract
"Grandma’s Greens" is a warm, down to earth tribute to my grandmother and the life lessons she lovingly serves to her grandkids, weaving family memories into each dish she cooks. Through her pot of greens and Sunday meals, she teaches patience, strength, and love, sharing not just food but pieces of her spirit. It’s a celebration of her kitchen as a gathering place for her grandkids, her legacy where each meal is seasoned with stories that bind the family together. This poem is also apart of my personal project called "The Black Renaissance." A project that expresses black culture in a way that ties in modern society, the culture, history, slavery, personal stories and the internal struggles of African Americans from the past and the present.
