I Kinda Had Something Else In Mind: Breaking from Family Traditions Artwork

Calibama Talking with Chef Lorious

Welcome to Calibama Talking with Chef Lorious. Calibama Talking is a weekly podcast hosted by Chef Lorious (everybody’s auntie) and her mom, Mama VJ (the community grandma). Born in California and raised by a close-knit family anchored in southern tradition from Alabama, this “Calibama” girl learned very early that food cooked with love has the power to inspire and heal. Food opens the door to conversation and that’s exactly what Chef Lorious and Mama VJ do best...talk about everything. No subject is off limits, from favorite foods and table talk, to the latest family antics. The ladies also have guests and talk about the stuff that makes life interesting, like getting past hurts, making major life decisions, figuring out who you are and what you believe (not what your mama believes), and how to break-up with a friend (or whatever)! And in case you’re wondering, these ladies don’t see eye to eye on a lot of things. Come on into the Love Lab (Chef Lorious’s kitchen), for real talk and honest discussions about food, family and this thing called life.

I Kinda Had Something Else In Mind: Breaking from Family Traditions

November 18, 2020 • Chef Lorious • Season 1 • Episode 13

The holidays are upon us and that means family traditions. But sometimes you want to do something different; you want to start a new tradition...or maybe you just want to do something different this year. Covid has given us all an opportunity to reassess how we will celebrate in 2020. Today Mama VJ and I are joined by a special guest - Edward Coles. Edward comes from a ministerial family and is a fourth-generation preacher in the Church of God in Christ (COGIC). He has pastored for 29 years and serves as the Assistant to the Bishop of the Washington DC Jurisdiction COGIC. Pastor Edward is a family man, married for 39 years with children and grandchildren whom he loves dearly. Coming from a family with a rich legacy, Pastor Edward knows a few things about family traditions...but he’s also not afraid to switch it up. He’s the perfect guest to share in this conversation. Enjoy!!
