They also discuss her new book, Sipping Sense: Uncorking the Flavors of Wine, Entertaining and Healthy Cooking, the evolving landscape of wine culture, and why gathering intentionally remains a powerful expression of identity, confidence, and belonging in African descended communities.</p> <p class=""></p> <p class="has-normal-font-size">Production credit: @Masauko.
