MoAD Chef-in-Residence
From its very first offering, a panel discussion entitled “Black Women, Food, and Power,” to the widely lauded Black Food Summit, the program under Chef-in-Residence Bryant Terry’s direction has brought together hundreds of leading Black chefs, writers, scholars, activists, artists, and other creatives to advance the health and well-being of the African Diaspora. After originating and serving seven plus years as MoAD’s Chef in Residence, Chef Terry stepped down and made room for his successor, Jocelyn Jackson in 2023.
