Issue No. 10
AphroChic: Celebrating the Legacy of the Black Family Home is the type of book we’ve always dreamed of writing. We take you into 16 amazing Black homes while exploring our long journey home as Black people in America — a journey that we’re still on. But the best thing about this book is that we don’t have to just tell you about it anymore. In this issue we give you a sneak peek into the pages of the book so that you can see what all the fuss is about. And we haven’t just been writing. This year AphroChic made its first foray into filmmaking with a 15-minute short documentary looking at the stories of Baltimore’s Black community as the nation continues to grapple with the COVID-19 crisis. Check out our look at Baltimore and the lessons it has for the rest of the country in this issue’s City Stories. World-renowned pianist Lara Downes talks about her journey as a Black woman through the world of classical music, introducing us to Scott Joplin, whose Ragtime compositions set the stage for the ascendence of jazz. Then we go from the recording booth to the table, where chef Rock Harper is taking us all to school with his next-level fried chicken sandwiches. The celebrity chef’s new concept, Queen Mother’s, isn’t just serving up massive, perfectly cooked portions with its mouthwatering, artisanal sandwiches. It’s pushing us to take a long look at the history behind the stereotypes to see the role fried chicken has played in bringing our families together since before the Civil War, setting the stage for a billion dollar industry that targets but does not include us. Celebrity designer Mikel Welch takes us into the Hamptons resort he’s created in his New York apartment. Subscriptions are available.
