THE ULTIMATE INVITE TO THE COOKOUT—WITH THE HELP OF CHEF KWAME ONWUACHI 

I creative directed and produced EBONY’s July cover w/ NYC's Chef Kwame Onwuachi. There is always endless conversation within our community about what makes a cookout, who's cooking, who's invited to the cookout, what's on the menu, and the list goes on! With that said, my team and I took this as an opportunity to showcase what an invitation to the cookout looks like through the lens and culinary skillset of our cover star.
