OASIS gathers culturally-informed soup recipes to expand nutritional knowledge and discussions of Black women’s wellness. This sampler of stories presents personal vignettes and recipes that explore identity, geography, health, and self-care.

 Memoirs are an effective way to convey both technical knowledge and cultural heritage. This book project brings together 20 cooks, chefs, researchers, storytellers, foodies, farmers, nutritionists, historians, activists, food bloggers, and wellness workers to share stories about Black women’s health. Stories and soup recipes are featured from around the African diaspora.
