Celebrating families, journeys and the holidays-Author interview

Описание: This holiday season, we’re celebrating us — our families, our journeys, our stories, and the places God has brought us through.
In today’s episode of the Sistas Let’s Talk Podcast, we sit down with our guest host and beloved sister Emilia—mother, daughter, friend, and proud Sierra Leonean—to honor the richness of immigrant stories, generational recipes, and the resilience that shapes who we are.

This conversation unfolds around:
✨ Family journeys during the holidays
✨ Honoring where we are and where we’re going
✨ The beauty of shared stories and food
✨ Emilia’s contribution to the book “Kitchens of Hope”
✨ Immigrant resilience, cultural memory & Sierra Leone nostalgia

We laugh, we reminisce, we talk snacks (“kanya,” coconut cake, butterscotch—yes, THAT butterscotch! 😂), and we explore how food becomes a bridge between past and present.

Through Emilia’s story, we celebrate every immigrant who crossed oceans, rebuilt life from scratch, and still carries home in their hands and kitchens.
You say you’re not an author… in our book, you absolutely are.

Whether you’re far from home or surrounded by family this season, we hope this episode brings warmth, connection, and a reminder that:
your story is worth celebrating — just as it is, right where you are
