After a long hiatus from social media, Jerrelle Guy is back. The food stylist, photographer, and recipe developer behind the trailblazing book Black Girl Baking and the blog Chocolate for Basil, Jerrelle realized the relentless demands on culinary creatives were causing her to lose the joy she always found in the world of food. So she stepped away to rediscover what she loved in the first place. “I don’t like the grind culture,” she tells host Kerry Diamond

Jerrelle is now working on her second book, which covers the intersection of food, mental health, and healing, and she has a line of kitchen and housewares created in collaboration with Anthropologie. The collection, with its soothing colors, patterns, and textures, is inspired by Jerrelle’s great aunt and the act of cultivating spaces that allow ourselves to thrive. The collection is now in stores.
