Diversity Action Council (HDAC)
FOOD FOR THOUGHT thing we knew, we had all these chefs who wanted to help
Pastry chef Cheryl Day advocates for change in
the restaurant industry
Self-taught pastry chef Cheryl Day fi rst rose to prominence
when she and her husband Griffi th launched the Back in
the Day Bakery in 2002 in Savannah's historically Black
Victorian District. Fostering community was as much
a priority as the confections, which she giſt ed to fellow
businesses to show solidarity. " We wanted to build a place
of pride and help this neighborhood continue to thrive, " she
says. Several cookbooks and a James Beard nomination
later, Day found herself again in solidarity with her
community as COVID-19 upheaved what they had built.
" There was a lot of fear, " she recalls. " I had to let go of my
staff and start over. "
Following the murder of George Floyd that summer
of 2020, Day talked with Sarah O'Brien of the Litt le
Tart Bakeshop in Atlanta about how to respond both to
the demand for racial justice and for assistance in the
F&B industry. Pastry chef Lisa Donovan and James
Beard Award winner Anne Quatrano soon entered the
conversation. " [Quatrano] jumped on board and started
making phone calls and sending emails, " Day says. " Next
us do a fundraiser. " The culinary icons dubbed themselves
Southern Restaurants for Racial Justice (SRRJ) as they
held a collective bake sale on Father's Day weekend 2020
that raised $100,000 for racial justice advocacy group
Color of Change.
The Lee Initiative, a nonprofi t working to expand
diversity and equity in the restaurant industry, became
SRRJ's fi scal partner to create grants and give money
directly to Black-owned restaurants. The partnership
enabled SRRJ to provide emergency funds to America's
oldest Black-owned restaurant-Jones' Bar-B-Q in
Marianna, Arkansas-following a fi re last year. A
multimillion-dollar endowment from Heinz Kraſt
followed, along with collaborations from King Arthur
Flour and Spanx. SRRJ is also growing its scope to
reach emerging or struggling Black-owned businesses
through mentorship programs. " It's going to be a big
piece to making sure these restaurants are sustainable, "
Day says.
A community builder at her core, Day continues to
see the platform as an opportunity to educate on racial
justice, Black-owned restaurants, and to " let people
know how important it is to build awareness around this
culture that's just as much American culture as anything
else, " she says. " I want to level the playing fi eld. " hd
