In the summer of 2020 AphroChic chatted on Instagram Live with Chef Alexander Smalls about his latest book, Meals, Music & Muses and his diverse journey through the worlds of music, food and business. Here we present the edited conversation, where we talked about his journey, which started in rural South Carolina and took him around the world as a celebrated opera singer before bringing him to New York as an equally renowned restaurateur. We talk with Alexander about his youth, his career on the stage and in the kitchen and the beautiful window that African American food traditions provide on our history, our culture and our diaspora.
