👩🏽🍳 Featuring Gullah Chef Cathy Taylor
Expect bold flavors, intentional preparation, and dishes that speak for themselves — rooted in tradition and crafted with care.
📖 Stories That Carry the Culture
While savoring the cuisine, guests will be immersed in live cultural storytelling by Joshua Mishoe, modern-day griot and creator of Camp Gullah Geechee. Through spoken word, humor, and reflection, his narratives connect past to present — transforming the evening into a living exploration of heritage.
