Episode Description: Jessica B. Harris may have been born and raised in New York City, but she has Tennessee roots through her father and has spent much of her life split between homes in the Northeast and the South – specifically New Orleans. For more than fifty years, she has been a college professor, a writer, and a lecturer, and her many books have earned her a reputation as an authority on food of the African Diaspora, as well as a lifetime achievement award from the James Beard Foundation. A few years back, Netflix adapted her book, High on the Hog: A Culinary Journey from Africa to America , into a 4 part docuseries. And I’m very proud to say that she’s a longtime contributor to Southern Living with a regular column called The Welcome Table. This episode was recorded in the Southern Living Birmingham studios, and Sid and Jessica talked about her mother’s signature mac and cheese, the cast-iron skillet she’d be sure to save if ever her house were on fire, and her dear friend, the late New Orleans chef Leah Chase.

Podcast: Manny Talks Host: Manny De La Cruz The push for sustainability has led many job seekers to seek out companies that prioritize environmental and social responsibility. However, it's important for job seekers to carefully research and evaluate a company's sustainability efforts before committing to a job. To do this, job seekers can start by reviewing a company's sustainability reports, which outline their sustainability goals, initiatives, and progress. They can also look for independent certifications or ratings that verify a company's sustainability claims, such as those provided by the FSC or Corporate Knights. Additionally, job seekers can gain valuable insights into a company's sustainability practices by examining their supply chain and sourcing practices. By taking these steps, job seekers can make informed decisions about which companies to support and work for, and help to promote greater sustainability in the business world.
