I wish BET did more to represent the full spectrum of black experiences in a balanced manner. If you watch BET, you get the sense that the only way black people succeed is through professional sports, music, or marrying/fucking/being a baby mama of someone who is involved with professional sports or music.

The crafting of meals is somewhat spiritual in itself. It teaches us to cook with the best ingredients to render a flavor that speaks to how we feel about one another. Food in Black culture is a conduit of communication. A feeling. A connection.
