Full of Flava has been a passion project of my mother for quite some time. My mother was my first teacher and first friend. She, often times, expressed her love through her talent for cooking. After a while of being in Jamaica, my mother learned many cultural dishes, including ox tail and jerk chicken, and I enjoyed trying them. Ultimately, I found myself not only wanting to learn the southern soul food of our past, but also the Caribbean dishes that quickly began to signify our future.
