When Tren'ness Woods-Black began her career at her family's iconic Sylvia's Restaurant in Harlem, it was at the hostess station - a role she was quite literally born for. It is one she continues to play both at the restaurant and in her role as a communications consultant, welcoming presidents and neighbors alike to experience a bit of the South on Lenox Avenue. Most recently, she and her fellow culinary entrepreneurs put together the hugely successful second annual Harlem EatUp festival this past weekend. In this Episode, Tren'ness and I talk about the legacy she carries on and how the South can be your home even if you never actually lived there.
