2022 Episode 28

Liberian-American Roberta Nina Sebode Brown Cooper has traveled the world as an international flight attendant and discovered African cuisine. Her quest and determination to introduce and educate her world on African cooking led her to write AFRICAN FOOD IS…A Culinary Journey. She also serves as the President of the Marylanders for Progress (Liberia), Inc.

She appears at a book signing at Zawadi’s in DC on Saturday June 4, 1p-3p.

We talk with director Eric Ruffin, director of Mosaic Theater’s upcoming play Marys Seacole and find out more about Seacole and how Ruffin will shape the H Street theater’s story of this pioneering woman of African heritage.

She made her mark in The Caribbean, Central America, Europe, and with Americans going overland to the California Gold Rush via Panama. It’s her work during the Crimean War (1853-1856) that rivals that of Florence Nightingale'sduring the same conflict. Seacole had even been practicing herbal remedies and hygiene decades before Nightingale. Yet, Nightingale is often acknowledged as the pioneer of modern nursing. The play Marys Seacole is helping to change that.
