Sistahs & Stories July Meetup: Black Cake by Charmaine Wilkerson
Details
This July, we’re gathered at Mad Chef Kitchen & Bar to unwrap a family mystery. We’re discussing the New York Times bestseller Black Cake by Charmaine Wilkerson.
The story begins with a traditional Caribbean black cake left in a freezer and a voice recording that changes everything two siblings thought they knew about their mother. From the 1960s Caribbean to modern-day California, this is a sweeping saga about identity, hidden pasts, and the recipes that connect us across generations. It’s the perfect book for a long, deep discussion over a great meal.
The Details:
- Book: Black Cake by Charmaine Wilkerson
- Location: Mad Chef Kitchen & Bar, Ellicott City
- Date/Time: Sunday, July 19th @ 2:00 PM
Important Note on RSVPs: Mad Chef is a popular local gem! Please RSVP as soon as possible so I can secure a table for our group. Getting a headcount early ensures we’re all seated together for a great afternoon.
RSVP Prompt: If you had to leave behind one family recipe that tells the "true story" of where you come from, what would it be?
