In 2019 I interviewwed Tembi Locke after her first book, from Scratch, was published. As she launches her second, Forever Now, we revisit our hour together! When Tembi Locke spent a college semester in Italy, it changed the course of her life. Meeting Saro, the man she would love and marry, filled her with joy and also challenged them both to bridge the gap between his Sicilian farm family and her Houston Texas family of civil rights activists. Over time their persistence and courage began to connect their two families. But no struggle before it could have prepared them for Saro's ten years living with cancer, his death, and Tembi's grief. Who could have predicted that Tembi would find her way forward in grief at the table of her mother-in-law, in her small home in Siciliy. Join us to talk about the road Tembi took to find her future. Tembi Locke is an actor with more than 60 sixty film and television performances to her credit. A graduate of Wesleyan and a TEDx speaker, she is the creator of TheKitchenWidow.com, an advocacy platform that inspires the art of comfort in times of illness or grief. Originally from Houston, Texas, she lives in Los Angeles with her daughter and second husband. From Scratch is her first book. Please visit her website at www.tembilocke.com.
