As a writing coach, editor, and ghostwriter, I also serve women in the community who have inspiring memoirs to tell of hope, growth, and healing.

At the same time, slave women who were sold further inland lost much of their indigenous foodways and were forced to make do with the scraps (hog maws, fatback, pig ears, pig feet, chitterlings, etc.) from their owners. In both cases, black slave women were central to the survival of black communities whether they were cooking in the kitchen in the big house, growing their own crops, controlling the poultry market, or prescribing herbs and tonics for healing through rootwork. Through slave narratives, academic articles, and contemporary commercial memoirs we will trace the culinary agency of black women and examine our current state of affairs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612edc04634d6429a3f70666/1633793762490-I1VAXWB617RNKRJ7PBRV/unsplash-image-ObpCE_X3j6U.jpg CV and Courses - Rhetoric of Health and Wellness Rhetoric of Health & Wellness seeks to bring together humanities and social scientific research traditions in a rhetorically focused journal to allow scholars to build new interdisciplinary theories, methodologies, and insights that can impact our understanding of health, illness, healing, and wellness. https://www.rachelpantonphd.com/home daily 1.0 2023-05-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612edc04634d6429a3f70666/1630464246745-W21EDZQCPVNT7TVR082K/RachelPanton-LauraPalaciosPhotography%2870of138%29.jpg Home - Welcome!
