As part of Seagram’s virtual 2021 Empowerment Tour, the May panel was held on Friday, May 21 at 7pm ET and featured esteemed African American women influencers in the food industry, including bloggers, chefs, restaurateurs and cookbook authors. These women cover aspects of food from vegan delights to soul food bites with a twist.

During the discussion, the panelists shared their best food tips and recommendations for the perfect summer celebration, complemented by their favorite Seagram’s Escapes beverage. Claiborne demonstrated how to make her Vegan Crab Cakes with Red Pepper Aioli and paired the dish with Seagram’s Escapes Passion Fruit Mango. Cole shared how to make vegan Jamaican jerk chicken tacos and paired her dish with Seagram’s Escapes Jamaican Me Happy Flavor.
