Food, Funerals and Mourning in the American South
About the Episode
A conversation with Ashley-Anne Masters. We spoke about Food, Funerals and Mourning in the Deep South of America which is well known for its traditions and rituals around food and funerals. We discussed food and humour and how both can bring us together and help us in moments of grief and pain.
Ashley Anne is a wonderfully warm, incredibly kind human being and I cannot thank her enough for taking the time to share thoughts, experiences and memories with me.
You can find more about Ashley-Anne on Instagram or on her blog.
