366. We
finish our conversation with Shawanda Marie, who is a cooking storyteller.
"I was born into a family of very creative and talented folks.
Some are visual artists, others amazing cooks, educators and
then there are the musicians. All artists in their own right.
After years of self discovery, I learned that I lean into
multiple expressions of creativity and enjoy them equally. I
spent so much time wrangling over where I'd place my focus, but
I couldn't decide. Actually I refused to decide because I desire
to explore them all, bringing their flavors together like a
really good pot of gumbo. So here I am. My name is Shawanda
Marie and I want to share my true love with you. I am the owner
and creative mind behind
New Orleans Creole Story Pot.
Here, I infuse elements of theater performance, storytelling,
visual art, education, cultural exploration, music and of course
culinary art! I love to facilitate joy and see people smiling
and happy. Nothing accomplishes that like good food."
