RIGHT Sarah Lemon, taken in Macon, Georgia. The story of
H&H is a tale as old as time. A place where the soul is fed with good
food. Food is a medicine that can heal us all; how we share our
meals with others is also a type of healing. "I just go from my heart
and then put it into my cooking," H&H General Manager Tangie
Myers explained. "Macon got a lot of soul food, soulful roots. It's so
deep embedded in everybody's history."
LEFT Harmony Apel, taken in Pomona, California. As a
dancer and artist, Harmony moved to Los Angeles to follow her
career goals; now, raising a family in a melting pot community,
she has carved out her place with her own identity. In this
self-portrait, she stands by a mural of an Indigenous woman in
front of an urban background, but also surrounded by vibrant,
nourishing fruit, wildflowers and healing herbs, and native
butterflies who migrate back and forth between disparate
homes to find a place that meets their needs in different
seasons.
