On this Episode of the EnvAns Podcast, We’re excited to welcome Andre Taylor to our next conversation — a dynamic historian, scholar, and storyteller whose work beautifully bridges academia, community, and culture.🎓 Andre is a Ph.D. student in American Studies at William & Mary, former oral historian for the university, and past historian of African American history and culture at the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation.Through his powerful digital humanities project, Black Folk and Our Food, Andre captures oral histories of Black families—while they cook family recipes passed down without pen or paper. It's about more than food—it's about memory, legacy, and identity.He also serves as a dedicated historian for Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. at both chapter and district levels. Andre is a proud husband and father to twin daughters.
