“…As a black woman you’re accustomed to ignorance all the time …” Facts Kelis, and thank you for demonstrating through your artistry, that we are multidimensional. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Shout out to the Gullah Geechee Nation!

She looks so happy and free!!!!!!

Kelis is the original trend setter for today’s pop stars

This lady has grown, can't stop watching her.

she's a joy to listen to ~knowledgable and passionate

Her energy is just so infectious..I love her as artist, a songwriter, a chef, and a woman!! Very good person!!

Wait is that a plantain shirt? She is the dopest.

I could listen to Kelis talk about food and life for HOURS!!!!!

It’s the historical context for me !!!!!! Come on Gullah Geechee !

“Obviously as a black woman you’re accustomed to ignorance all the time…” So freaking accurate. Love her.

I’m still mad about oxtails and chicken wings being so expensive now. I mean furious. All because some bougie set discovered how good they are. They done gone and “discovered” greens now too…..

Yeah I thought we were gonna see the finished dish, but anyhoo… Kelis is a joy bcuz she truly lives a joyful life 😊

Im proud im apart of the geechee nation this dish is about of my culture

Bonding over food my mother cooked is my top childhood memory. She was from Louisiana and had 13 younger siblings. She always cooked more than enough for the meal. She was the reason I loved vegetables at a very young age. In high school my friends loved to be invited to dinner. Kelis reminds me that my mother cooked from her heart and that’s why her food was so delicious. Rip Momma, I miss you a lot❤️

This hit home for me, as a chef who’s a black woman I get the ignorance a lot and it’s mind blowing the things I’ve seen and encountered over the years. Yet I’m still pushing forward to learn more and get where I want to be as a chef.

I've bought her goldmine boxes and her rubs,dressings,and sauces are extremely DELICIOUS!!!

She is beautiful she looks so happy and peaceful most over all blessed

You can feel her passion, pride for our shared heritage, total fulfillment for where she is right now. Such a joy to listen to. I need more of her.

Love so Much that Kelis is a Chef, she didn’t become a Chef she was always Chef, she just had to get the Paper ❤️

No makeup, all natural everywhere even with her food. I love her 🌱🤌🏾

Kelis is sooo dope! 💚 Her creativity is boundless. It’s often assumed that Black women only know how to cook soul food and not world class cuisine👩🏾‍🍳. Our Ancestors farmed this land, were given scraps and made them delicacies. She made me hungry for my fav oxtails and some jerk chicken & rice 🍛.

She watched the document High On The Hog documentary. Best documentary thus far.

She’s absolutely right about the price of oxtails these days🤣

Please make James Island and Charleston SC proud. That’s our precious history on the plate.

It makes sense that Kelis is a Chef now. The creative, artistic types always overlap naturally between passions (Singers, Cosmetologists, Musicians are THE best chefs...naturally due to creativity). Such a great story on Kelis now! Thank you, GMA!!!

Such a beautiful person and love the whole homestead farm-to-table idea.

I haven't seen her for like forever😅It's good to see her again! She so pretty💝💝💝💝

I’m geechee born and raised and I’m waiting to see this rice

Just, WOW!!! She is in her element. I luv it.

This was a beautiful spot on her. Lovely woman.

She’s such a humble and smart woman. She really has become a beautiful person after all these years.

For the 18 people with the thumbs down, we can only assume you have a feeding tube and we are sorry, so very sorry.

I’m from Honduras and we eat all those meals that she just mentioned 🙌🏽.. So she knows the Culture 💯... so much better than any fast food.. Healthy and clean

Her rice brings all the boys to the yard.

So true on the Ox Tails. I remember being able go get for .99 a pound back in the day. At the market two days ago & 20.99!!

What a gifted woman 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I'm thinking of all the amazing and trend-setting outfits and accessories Kelis wore during her musical career. And even here within the context of her culinary passion, she accents her story with this cool plantain shirt, matching green nail polish, hoop earrings. Older, more "mature", and less flamboyant perhaps... but still so creative and stylish.

LOVE HER!!! She seems to be beautiful inside and out!

She hit the nail on the head with that oxtail part… y’all never wanna give us credit!!

She is glowing you can tell she has found her happy place it just shines through her I'm happy for her

I like Kelis. Food is extremely important in our culture as it brings us together while telling the story to others as to who we are. Brilliant segment. Should be more of this although would have liked to see more of the food pre and post interview. Maybe Kelis should have a cooking show 🤔👍🏼✨

I didn’t know that she was this awesome I love her even more.

Kelis is just EVERYTHING 🥰 Adore Her so much!

Her husband was already diagnosed with terminal cancer at this point and you'd never know. She is so strong and such a beautiful person.

Love her energy! Such a positive soul!

I'm glad she was able to get that word in towards the end. I'm constantly sick of hearing how am I aware of something? Or how did I know that? Like seriously, black Americans can be informed, enlightened, educated and down right cultured.

I have always loooved her speaking voice 😍🥰 gonna try taking shots every time she says "like" 😏😆 love me some Kelis! she is the total package 💖

Love Kelis!!!! Love to see outdoor cooking. Such a rich interview! We're geechee gyals & cant wait to try your take on red rice! Learned the term "saucier" & now I must do research about my ancestors braiding rice into their hair ❤

The ARCHITYPE honey! My muse for hair since high school & ill be 33 in 10 days so what's that tell you?!! LEGENDARY. I mean.....bih had Nas fine ass obsessed with her, cmon now

She is ADORED 🙏🏽🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

"I'm a saucier..." Next single? I'm Saucy! lol

My bf is from Charleston and introduced me to red rice. It is soooo good!

*Shes amazing! Talent + energy = Kelis*

I love how Kelis refers to the Netflix doc:High on the Hog‼️✔️🌟🍽

Her spirit is beautiful

Kelis's father is African-American, a jazz musician and minister, and her mother, a fashion designer, is of Puerto Rican and Chinese descent. 6 degrees of Mixed Asian:

I love oxtail stew and it’s getting very expensive.

I think it's a damn shame that oxtails have become somewhat of a delicatessen. Like Kelis said, it's something the wealthy would throw away, but black folks perfected and made them flavorful. It's a shame something that was thrown away, something poor folks found useful for consumption has become soooooo ef'n unaffordable now. Oxtails usually have a generous amount of meat on them, as well as sometimes larger bones. Because of their weight, and folks who could give two f@cks about eating them then, now desire them. Many people now can't afford them and/or like myself, refuse to pay the asking price per pound for them. Same applies to chicken wings, short ribs, and pot roast. Bougie folks would never be caught consuming such things. Now, the desire for these foods are making them overpriced. My, how quickly foods that were common for poor folks to eat have become outrageously over priced. It's a pity. The amount of money generated from the sale of these foods by those who have seen the opportunity for exploitation is just sinful. SMGDH!

Ty Kelis for Respecting my profession

Love her voice amazing singer love her more now that she cooks 🇮🇪 also she stunning.

She looks absolutely amazing !!!

Kelis is amazing❣️

She definitely needs her own lifestyle channel. I would support 100%

Funny how her green nails matches her outfit. I love it.

Kelis is so gorgeous. Goodness! And I love her calming presence.

My ancestors are Geechee, so cool!

My Lesson is never judge a book by its cover . SHE IS AMAZING and that's all. I ALWAYS ENJOY SEEING HER IN HER ESSENCE. ALWAYS🌹

Kelis I’ve been rockin with you since the first 💿 … she is so versatile and I need to buy some of her sauces ASAP! I too cook for a hobby I should take it up.

As she talks about how OX TAIL IS NOW MAINSTREAM not to mention Fish & GRITS was made for BREAKFAST or SHRIMP & GRITS oh yea forgot to mention WAFFLES & CHICKEN.

I'm truly here for the natural beauty of this woman. She has always been so fine💚💙💛

I still love her voice..

I love the green.

She is as beautiful as I remember her from years ago.. she is so diverse and full of talent.. a role model for many young girls and women.. luv her!

My favorite human

I love Kelis. She did ALL first!

Love Kelis! Wish she could team up with Pharrell again..they made such great music!!😔

She still looks good af

Lord, she's not lying about oxtails. My grandmother used to make succotash on the holidays and wish I would have seen her while she was in the kitchen making it. Damn!

This was very insightful. I agree that there is a spirituality around food even more than music. Makes sense as food sustains life.

Love her ❤ 💕 ♥ she was smart to have a good career most of these singers have to realize you're singing career won't last forever they get old so I'm proud that she went back to school she has something to fall back on good for her

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽My uncle (now deceased) was one of those guy's (along with his son's) who was from the south (originally) who made his home in Brooklyn, N.Y. who had food trucks! Kelis's comment brought back a flood of memories. Bittersweet.

I LOVE HER Because she is so down to earth...No literally❤❤❤💪💪💪

She is me and I am her , doing what I love is my next step in life not sure if I will go to culinary school but self taught chef and if you put something new in front me I will conquer it if not the first time second time for sure love her journey and lover her spirit

I love her 😍🥰🥰

Love Kelis!

Love her voice

Man I love 😘 kelis. She is beautiful, dope and very knowledgeable. She's beyond a musician in my eyes she's multi-talented.

I always enjoy her interviews. Thanks for sharing some food history.

Side note: what a natural beauty 😍. She seems like someone you could just sit and chat all day with

Such a powerful woman!💯💯🙏🏾

Love her

I love her

So elegant & stoic

You might be thinking, oh no, not again, but I can't help it. Kelis is such a magnet and now very iconic. She will always bring all the boys to the yard.

Her whole album Kaleidoscope was so dope ❤️ always been a fan!

So glad to see her. Loving that shirt, hair and nails. I hope she makes a cooking channel.

Such a humble beautiful person and great chief☺👍
