00:00What our show does is it centers blackness and it centers the black soul food story through this woman, this particular black woman's specific experience as a black woman who's from L.A., who's an executive chef, who's classically trained, but who also has her roots in the South, which is why we started the first episode in Mississippi, right?
00:19And so what happens is when you center a black story in that way and then look at the world through that lens, all of a sudden all of these other things start to pop out.
00:30Right. And so I think part of what is so great about having this woman, a black woman as a host, is that we've seen food and travel series that like, let's be honest, have been mostly hosted by white men for a long time.
00:40Right. Yeah. And like no shade to Tony Bourdain. I love him.
00:43Love you allies. Right. But when white men host these shows there, because whiteness is seen as a default category, they're not explicit about the experience they're bringing to to their travels.
00:54Right. About the privilege and what it is to move through the world as a white man and how that influences where they want to go and what they want to see.
01:02And what we're doing with our show is we're making the the implicit explicit.
