A dish can tell a story about where you’re from, who raised you or what brings you comfort. 🍲 Roots & Recipes is a Black History Month potluck from Girls Dem Club, bringing people together to share food and celebrate Black culture. Bring a dish that means something to you. It’s a chance to swap stories over the table, meet new people and enjoy an afternoon of food, conversation and music. Alongside the shared meal, there’ll be a panel exploring culture, community and changemaking, plus a DJ, tea blending and skincare goodie bags. I’ll be joining the panel too. 📅 Saturday 17 October 🕓 4pm–8:30pm 📍 Aston-Mansfield Centre, Manor Park 🎟️ £8 Who would you bring, and what dish would you put on the table? #RootsAndRecipes #GirlsDemClub #BlackHistoryMonth #LondonEvents
