Sharing meals is a sacred time to eat together and form connections with your fellow sisters.
It's an important part of the Matriarch Rising Festival, where we come together as a community around the tables to enjoy nourishing meals with one another.

Our Festival Chef, Razia & Team
Chef Razia is our head chef coming in from Atlanta, GA!
She and her team will be the heart of the kitchen for a second year at Matriarch Rising Festival.
Razia has garnered public notoriety under her own name as a Food Network two-time competitor, a private chef, and a recipe developer. Her private clientele includes many of the Hollywood elite and professional athletes. Her intentions in her work are to preserve African American heritage through food. A native of Washington, DC., Razia developed a passion for cooking at an early age and feeding large numbers of people became a part of her pedigree.
