I recently spent my fourth year documenting the Kwame Onwuachi Presents The Family Reunion hosted by the Salamander Collection’s resort in Middleburg, Virginia. This year’s reunion, which drew hundreds of people from various parts of the U.S., was bigger and better than ever. The first Family Reunion rolled out in 2021, when pandemic-weary folks finally felt comfortable consuming good food and good libations among friends old and new. This past weekend’s event (August 14-17) celebrated culture and cuisine mixed with panel discussions about building community, legacy and wealth. Congratulations Shelia Johnson and Kwame on your Fifth Family Reunion! Cheers to many more!!
