SUMMARY:Feast on Words: Queer Expression
DESCRIPTION:We cordially invite you to join us in celebrating our Queer collective humanity in community at FEAST ON WORDS: QUEER EXPRESSION at Asempe Kitchen.  \nHere at Asempe Kitchen\, where Asempe means Curiosity\, we believe in finding ways to embrace the various identities we all walk in/with. Be curious about yourself and others this Pride month through creative expression! \nJoin us at Asempe Kitchen on any Monday in June—the 2nd\, 9th\, 16th\, 23rd\, or 30th—from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. You are welcome to create your work during the event in whatever form it takes —poetry\, journaling\, an essay\, prose\, a letter\, or a list. Alternatively\, please feel free to bring a piece you have already completed to share with the community. \nShould you prefer not to create your own work\, we would also be delighted to have you join us to hear others share their writing. \nWe eagerly anticipate celebrating Pride with you. \n*Tea will be provided. Feel free to bring snacks to share. On the  last Monday\, June 30th\, we anticipate a grand cumulative event coupled with a pay-what-you-can/pay-it-forward community dinner sponsored by local community members and Asempe Kitchen.\nLed by Chef Kuukua Yomekpe\, and wife\, Sherron Brown (OAR/CIU) with guest appearances from other community artists.

SUMMARY:Asempe Kitchen Valentine's Day Cooking Class
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a cooking class with Chef Kuukua on Saturday\, Feb 15th from 11-1pm! We’ll cook together\, eat together & share stories. It’s a celebration of love of all kinds! \nImagine stepping into an experience filled with vibrant tales and tantalizing flavors. Upon arrival\, a refreshing soft drink will be your companion as you settle in to hear my personal journey\, a nostalgic recounting of life in the lively heart of Accra\, Ghana during the vibrant ’80s. But this is not just a listening experience; it’s hands-on\, it’s immersive. \nTogether\, we’ll explore a world of local and imported ingredients\, their aromas and textures\, their stories. We’ll be prepping and cooking an appetizer and a main dish – each a flavorful reflection of my homeland. But the journey doesn’t end at the stove. \nOnce our labor of love has been transformed into a delightful meal\, we’ll sit down to enjoy it\, and the storytelling will shift to you. I can’t wait to hear your tales of growing up\, of places far and wide\, of cultures and cuisines. \nAre you ready for an afternoon of flavorful food and fascinating stories? If so\, I hope you join us! \nPlease note:\n-Aprons will be provided\n-Please let us know if you have any dietary restrictions\n-Spices\, hot sauce\, aprons & Better Brittle coconut & peanut brittle are available for purchase
