Carla Hall & Kwame Alexander – Chautauqua Lecture Series

August 6, 2025 @ 10:45 am - 12:30 pm
$30

In the midst of a week dedicated to finding one’s passions, seizing opportunities and changing the world, chef and author Carla Hall joins Kwame Alexander in conversation to discuss her work and the philosophy at the heart of it: Always cook with love.

Carla Hall first won over audiences when she competed on Bravo’s “Top Chef” and “Top Chef: All Stars.” A trained chef who has worked in several professional restaurant kitchens in and around the Washington, D.C. area, Hall believes food connects us all — a belief she strives to convey through her work, her cooking, and in her daily interactions with others.

Kwame Alexander is a poet, educator, producer and No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of 40 books, including Why Fathers Cry at Night, An American Story, The Door of No Return, Becoming Muhammad Ali (co-authored with James Patterson), Rebound, which was shortlisted for the prestigious UK Carnegie Medal, and The Undefeated — the National Book Award nominee, Newbery Honor, and Caldecott Medal-winning picture book illustrated by Kadir Nelson.
