“…As a black woman you’re accustomed to ignorance all the time …” Facts Kelis, and thank you for demonstrating through your artistry, that we are multidimensional. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
@Dem Moore She didn’t say “filled with”, she said “accustomed to”, meaning, being exposed to other people’s ignorance in how they perceive the lives and experiences of black women.
Bonding over food my mother cooked is my top childhood memory. She was from Louisiana and had 13 younger siblings. She always cooked more than enough for the meal. She was the reason I loved vegetables at a very young age. In high school my friends loved to be invited to dinner. Kelis reminds me that my mother cooked from her heart and that’s why her food was so delicious. Rip Momma, I miss you a lot❤️
This hit home for me, as a chef who’s a black woman I get the ignorance a lot and it’s mind blowing the things I’ve seen and encountered over the years. Yet I’m still pushing forward to learn more and get where I want to be as a chef.
I’m still mad about oxtails and chicken wings being so expensive now. I mean furious. All because some bougie set discovered how good they are. They done gone and “discovered” greens now too…..
Yeah it's crazy. My aunt always talks about having a meltdown one day when she was young because she had to have chicken wings again because my grandma could only afford that part at the time.
Kelis is sooo dope! 💚 Her creativity is boundless. It’s often assumed that Black women only know how to cook soul food and not world class cuisine👩🏾🍳. Our Ancestors farmed this land, were given scraps and made them delicacies. She made me hungry for my fav oxtails and some jerk chicken & rice 🍛.
I like Kelis. Food is extremely important in our culture as it brings us together while telling the story to others as to who we are. Brilliant segment. Should be more of this although would have liked to see more of the food pre and post interview. Maybe Kelis should have a cooking show 🤔👍🏼✨
It makes sense that Kelis is a Chef now. The creative, artistic types always overlap naturally between passions (Singers, Cosmetologists, Musicians are THE best chefs...naturally due to creativity). Such a great story on Kelis now! Thank you, GMA!!!
I'm thinking of all the amazing and trend-setting outfits and accessories Kelis wore during her musical career. And even here within the context of her culinary passion, she accents her story with this cool plantain shirt, matching green nail polish, hoop earrings. Older, more "mature", and less flamboyant perhaps... but still so creative and stylish.
Love Kelis!!!! Love to see outdoor cooking. Such a rich interview! We're geechee gyals & cant wait to try your take on red rice! Learned the term "saucier" & now I must do research about my ancestors braiding rice into their hair ❤
I’m from Honduras and we eat all those meals that she just mentioned 🙌🏽.. So she knows the Culture 💯... so much better than any fast food.. Healthy and clean
I'm glad she was able to get that word in towards the end. I'm constantly sick of hearing how am I aware of something? Or how did I know that? Like seriously, black Americans can be informed, enlightened, educated and down right cultured.
Kelis's father is African-American, a jazz musician and minister, and her mother, a fashion designer, is of Puerto Rican and Chinese descent. 6 degrees of Mixed Asian:
Kelis I’ve been rockin with you since the first 💿 … she is so versatile and I need to buy some of her sauces ASAP! I too cook for a hobby I should take it up.
I think it's a damn shame that oxtails have become somewhat of a delicatessen. Like Kelis said, it's something the wealthy would throw away, but black folks perfected and made them flavorful. It's a shame something that was thrown away, something poor folks found useful for consumption has become soooooo ef'n unaffordable now. Oxtails usually have a generous amount of meat on them, as well as sometimes larger bones. Because of their weight, and folks who could give two f@cks about eating them then, now desire them. Many people now can't afford them and/or like myself, refuse to pay the asking price per pound for them. Same applies to chicken wings, short ribs, and pot roast. Bougie folks would never be caught consuming such things. Now, the desire for these foods are making them overpriced. My, how quickly foods that were common for poor folks to eat have become outrageously over priced. It's a pity. The amount of money generated from the sale of these foods by those who have seen the opportunity for exploitation is just sinful. SMGDH!
It's that way about everything. They never want it until WE make it look good, taste good, add swag to it and etc... with clothes, dance, music, style Periodt! But THEY do not like giving us credit for anything. It's sad and terrible how THEY steal from us and go upsell it times 10. Tell the real reason why!!!
@@beemonique8466 PLUS SHORT RIBS and HAM HOCKS!!!!! Damn when I was a kid (back in the 50’s-60) chicken was expensive so we had oxtails and short ribs, neck bones and other cheap cuts of meat and a hell of a lot of green, grits, beans, turnips, corn potatoes, okra peas and chicken once in a while, fried, or as chicken and dumplings were a special dish on special days, like Sunday, or a picnic. AND YOU better NOT leave no meat on that bone. My folks ate the Gristle, lol You could hear my aunt Clyde and grandma chewing that gristle from across the room!!!
As she talks about how OX TAIL IS NOW MAINSTREAM not to mention Fish & GRITS was made for BREAKFAST or SHRIMP & GRITS oh yea forgot to mention WAFFLES & CHICKEN.
The ARCHITYPE honey! My muse for hair since high school & ill be 33 in 10 days so what's that tell you?!! LEGENDARY. I mean.....bih had Nas fine ass obsessed with her, cmon now
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽My uncle (now deceased) was one of those guy's (along with his son's) who was from the south (originally) who made his home in Brooklyn, N.Y. who had food trucks! Kelis's comment brought back a flood of memories. Bittersweet.
We had a farmer that we called watermelon because he would bring all types of fruit and vegetables but what stood out most was his SEEDED watermelons. Man do you know how hard it is to find a watermelon or a cucumber with seeds these days.
Love her ❤ 💕 ♥ she was smart to have a good career most of these singers have to realize you're singing career won't last forever they get old so I'm proud that she went back to school she has something to fall back on good for her
She is me and I am her , doing what I love is my next step in life not sure if I will go to culinary school but self taught chef and if you put something new in front me I will conquer it if not the first time second time for sure love her journey and lover her spirit
@@OrganicallyLuxeLife hey girl good to hear from you after Trump election I was tried to Facebook n IG now I forgot my passwords so I can’t get back on I don’t miss it but miss some things about it
Kelis, your right, we are what we eat. We have to learn to eat much healthier so our bodies will be more healthier and making sure we are eating all foods in moderation.
What a joy to experience this interview featuring the Chef/Entertainer, Kelis. We make the mistake of painting our celebrities into a one-dimensional box. Kelis is so much more than what we’ve been shown of her. She’s also a historian. Beautiful, inciteful, resourceful, courageous, enlightened, spiritual…wow! Great interview!🤙🏾
She looks so happy and free!!!!!!
Definitely looks and sounds free!!!
She does
Yes she does!! Her energy and spirit, is beautiful!! Everything about her is beautiful!

The older I get the more true this statement becomes.
If we weren't multidimensional we wouldn't have been brought here. We are the ones who don't believe it.
This lady has grown, can't stop watching her.
Her energy is just so infectious..I love her as artist, a songwriter, a chef, and a woman!! Very good person!!
Artist? What songs has she done???
@@lovelyp.8529 I recommended googling her name because her discography is pretty extensive. She's been making music for 20+ years. :)
she's a joy to listen to ~knowledgable and passionate
Shes articulate and has a sexy voice
@@Pikachu-qr4yb and a great laugh and sense of humor ! the list goes on !
@@benjaminstokes5737 yeah I can listen to her forever. I want her to have her own show (I heard she's making a cooking show with Netflix!)

Yes I've always loved her voice,so seductive and sultry
I could listen to Kelis talk about food and life for HOURS!!!!!

You can feel her passion, pride for our shared heritage, total fulfillment for where she is right now. Such a joy to listen to. I need more of her.

Wait is that a plantain shirt? She is the dopest.
I need one of those shirts ASAP. I love her style!

Yeah it's crazy. My aunt always talks about having a meltdown one day when she was young because she had to have chicken wings again because my grandma could only afford that part at the time.
Gentrification of our food. It's highly irritating. It's what we get for sharing our food....
Beef tongue prices are crazy now also. Makes me mad because the gentrifyersdont even know how to cook oxtails or tongue
Me too...furious 😡 about these high oxtail prices!
@@RealRoyaltE we should blow up chitlins and watch them eat all that shit! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I've bought her goldmine boxes and her rubs,dressings,and sauces are extremely DELICIOUS!!!
Thanks for sharing ❤️
Where can we buy them?
I wanna get it

Bravo 👏 applause 👏 well said!!
Just, WOW!!! She is in her element. I luv it.
Such a beautiful person and love the whole homestead farm-to-table idea.
Love so Much that Kelis is a Chef, she didn’t become a Chef she was always Chef, she just had to get the Paper ❤️
She watched the document High On The Hog documentary. Best documentary thus far.
I loved it! So good! Had no idea.
Yesssssss I loved it!
High on the Hog was an awesome documentary! ❤ Very informative
No makeup, all natural everywhere even with her food. I love her 🌱🤌🏾
So true on the Ox Tails. I remember being able go get for .99 a pound back in the day. At the market two days ago & 20.99!!
Jewelry Queen, I agree so many prices have almost doubled in less than 2 years
I haven't seen her for like forever😅It's good to see her again! She so pretty💝💝💝💝
What a gifted woman 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I didn’t know that she was this awesome I love her even more.
She’s such a humble and smart woman. She really has become a beautiful person after all these years.

Tisa Ligon Roman, Kelis has had a cooking show. And you can still see vids showing how she performs her magic dishes.
It makes sense that Kelis is a Chef now. The creative, artistic types always overlap naturally between passions (Singers, Cosmetologists, Musicians are THE best chefs...naturally due to creativity). Such a great story on Kelis now! Thank you, GMA!!!
