 The cooking gene project is about it's an ongoing thing to sort of tease out Where I come from my own personal to why my own personal sort of like on the micro cellular level Who I am as a cook as a historic chef, whatever you want to call me To really understand where I come from I watch all the same food programs you do where people You know speak with beaming proud about where they come from But if you come from a people who were deliberately orphaned Where do you really come from who are you what earth is yours? What really belongs to you and so this product is about my DNA. It's about my ancestors It's about young people today of all walks of life, but especially those living in Food deserts who are children of color who have no sense of where they come from and they know that where they're going It's either one or three places then early grave jail or a dead-end future And so by using history I think we can transform their future but not only that but we can transform how we look at those young people and How we look at ourselves?
