My first piece for the Southern Foodways Alliance’s quarterly magazine, Gravy. I reflect on growing up as an American Muslim kid in Greenville, NC, in the1980s & 1990s - oh and sacrificing a goat in our driveway. It was selected for the SFA’s Cornbread Nation List in 2021.
Fahmida Azim, a Pulitzer-prize-winning author and illustrator, brought this piece to life through her illustrations. Check out her other work!
