Rose explains how this year’s event includes a food and supplies drive for the PRISM Food Shelf and reflects a deeper focus on protecting constitutional rights and community freedom during challenging times. She shares the powerful origin story of Sweet Potato Comfort Pie, which began after the killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and why sweet potato pie is considered a sacred symbol of care and connection in Black culture. The conversation highlights how service, storytelling, and shared meals can heal, unite, and strengthen communities while honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy.
