Our Creators

Josmine Evans

With a matriarchal lineage from Virginia and a patriarchal lineage from Louisiana, Josmine was born and raised in occupied Ohlone territory, aka Oakland, CA. Food became the medium through which she began, and continues, to explore her identity and the identities of her ancestors. That exploration has inspired her travels throughout the African Atlantic to gather and record diasporic food stories. Grateful for all her experiences and chances to learn, Indigo Culinary Co. is her offering and opportunity to share with my community.

Kholi

Kholi is a femme, nonbinary embodiment practitioner, writer, and diviner of Black queer magic who’s been convening, shifting, and growing communities, brands, and businesses for 20 years. Living in Winston Salem, North Carolina, her work and advocacy have been guided by time spent in Wake Forest’s Masters of Divinity program; her formal and political educations earned at Hampton and Rutgers Universities; and the words of her chosen ancestor, Toni Cade Bambara: “Are you sure, sweetheart, that you want to be well?”
